A benign growth in the prostate tissue begins to occur in every man in his forties. By the age of 60, 60% of men have an enlarged prostate. Unlike cancer, this is a benign growth
. This growth causes urinary tract obstruction that requires treatment in one third of men. Complaints such as frequent, intermittent urination, difficulty urinating, and waking up to urinate at night are observed. Urinary complaints also negatively affect sexual life. That's why we created Hattat Clinic
Prostate and Sexual Health Program. We monitor prostate growth through methods such as PSA (prostate specific antigen) and examination results and ultrasound when needed. When necessary, we use tests such as uroflowmetry to understand how severe the prostate-related complaints are and to show urine flow. We can recommend urinalysis,
ultrasound and endoscopic examinations. Thus, it becomes easier for us to diagnose a possible prostate cancer at an early stage.
From this point on, we apply a treatment for the prostate problem. For example, drug treatments, surgical procedures or laser treatments can be applied depending on the degree of obstruction in prostate enlargement
. In fact, with lasers that vaporize the prostate using very high energy, patients can go home a few hours after the procedure and start their daily lives within a few days. The most important point in the treatment of prostate diseases is to choose treatments that do not cause sexual function problems. While deciding on the treatment method together with you, we also carefully consider that the treatment does not harm sexual function. The important thing
is that you do not ignore your problem and know that there is a solution.
