			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When the prostate gland is inflamed for any reason, it is known as prostatitis. Specialized doctors known as urologists diagnose and treat this and other male reproductive diseases.</p>
<p>A sudden onset of it may develop secondary to an invasive procedure, trauma, infections, and bladder obstruction. Men ages 20-35 with multiple sexual partners are at an increase risk as are those who practice anal sex without protection. Men who have an enlarged prostate are at an increased risk of urinary infection.</p>
<p>Signs and Symptoms</p>
<p>Urinary frequency, slow stream, and pain on urination, urgency, difficult urination</p>
<p>Impotence, aching penis with lower abdomen and testicular discomfort</p>
<p>Pain between genitals and anus, painful bowel movements and ejaculation</p>
<p>Blood in urine, incontinency, retention</p>
<p>Chills, fever</p>
<p>Diagnosing:</p>
<p>Urine tests for bacteria and white blood cells</p>
<p>Anal palpation of the swollen prostate</p>
<p>Blood tests</p>
<p>An elevated blood prostate antigen hormone</p>
<p>Treatment</p>
<p>Antibiotics (such as Cipro) for at least 4 weeks, sometimes up to 8 weeks</p>
<p>Stool softeners to reduce discomfort</p>
<p>Some men may have to perform catheterizations to remove retained urine. Frequent and complete bladder evacuation is recommended to decrease symptoms of urinary retention and urgency</p>
<p>Warm baths (Sitz)</p>
<p>Avoid substances that irritate the bladder such as alcohol, caffeine, citrus juices, hot and spicy foods</p>
<p>Increasing fluid intake helps flush bacteria from bladder</p>
<p>Safe sex</p>
<p>Good hygienic skills</p>
<p>Drugs :</p>
<p>Remeron, an antidepressant, has side effects that greatly mimic such as urinary frequency, dysuria, incontinency, urgency, retention, and impotency. The urologist utilizes all available facts, medicine, and medical history to diagnose and treat it based on its cause. This is an example that not all is caused by an infectious agent.</p>
<p>The prostate is known as &#8220;a reservoir for the recurrent infection.&#8221; Patients with (CBP) &#8220;often present with myriad subjective complaints. Only a few of these complaints offer diagnostic clues for CBP because the complaints are often not of an unusual nature and are not specific for CBP.&#8221; CBP is a recurrent urinary tract infection with a single organism that persists in the prostatic fluid. (Ahuja, 2008).</p>
<p>If culture &#8220;results are positive, an expressed prostatic secretion (EPS) that contains bacteria of more than 10 WBCs per high-power field (WBCs/hpf) confirms the diagnosis.&#8221; (Ahuja).</p>
<p>Prognosis</p>
<p>After treatment , the majority of men are symptom free but prone to recur and likely to develop chronic P. Early diagnosis and a full course of the appropriate treatment are necessary. Frequent urinary tract infections carry the risk of the infection entering the bloodstream. Safe sex and good hygiene is strongly encouraged.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We must bear in mind that the risk factors for development benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer are the same, i-e: age, hormonal factors and factors of type Genetic, family and ethnicity.</p>
<p>A healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables and the proper balance minerals and fatty acids is important for prostate health, especially to obtain reasonable protection against cancer. Specialists tend to limit foods such as:</p>
<p>*	Coffee and tea (for its diuretic effect ) *	Alcoholic beverages ( decreases immunity) *	Soft drinks (the gas pressure gland ) *	Smoked sausages, chips and, in general, saturated fats animal.</p>
<p><b>Types of diet</b></p>
<p>The typical Western diet today, high in dairy products and animal fats and low in plant products rich whole fiber, making the figures of incidence of prostate cancer are much higher than those of Asia. Specifically, the habitual diets in the Far East, based on soy and rice, have shown high level of protective cover for the health of the prostate.</p>
<p><b>Vegetables and fruit</b></p>
<p>Eating plenty of vegetables, tomatoes, carrots, spinach, asparagus, assorted fruit and cereals have a protective effect demonstrated by several studies, which emphasize in particular the important role of soy and flax.</p>
<p>The tomato has been promoted for a long time due to its lycopene, but today is considered to be more protective certain processed tomato plant that own oil.</p>
<p>Also noteworthy are the vegetables grouped under the name cruciferous. Examples are: broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts are rich in sulfur substance called sulforaphane, of protective effects against cancer.</p>
<p>Polyphenolic pigments, a group they belong to many substances beneficial as flavonoids, anthocyanins, the anthocyanins, isoflavones or tannins are present in fruits or other parts of the plant, which must often looks colored. Examples of foods rich in polyphenols are the blueberries, The grapes, strawberries and raspberries, cherries, grenade, green tea, aai, cocoa, flax or onion and its derivatives such as red wine. All these foods are still the subject of many studies for their content in polyphenols and their relationship to cancer in general, and prostate cancer in particular. For more information see the article on fruit colored.</p>
<p>They expressed some fungi Eastern favorable effects, such as Maitake and other plants such as rosemary.</p>
<p><b>Fats</b></p>
<p>Excessive consumption of saturated animal fats is a very negative factor for prostate health and a serious risk factor. For the contrast, consumption of fish rich in omega 3 fatty acids is a very positive factor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is the desirable weight for good long term health? What is the desirable weight to maintain fertility? How do you define being overweight or obese? These questions can be answered simply with a combined measurement called the body mass index (BMI).</p>
<p>Desirable weight is a standard adopted by researchers who gather a very large number of body weights and heights of adult women and men. These physical measurements are then evaluated in relation to the most common risk factors at older ages, such as heart disease and cancer, and also in some studies in relation to death rates.</p>
<p>Being overweight is defined as weighing 15-30 percent more than the desirable weight for height; being obese is defined as weighing 30 percent more than the desirable weight for height. Desirable weights for heights typically have been listed in tables, like the one used by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.</p>
<p>Now the desirable, overweight, and obese weights for height are evaluated in a combined form, the BMI. The BMI conventionally uses the metric system. Your body weight is in kilograms (kg) divided by your height in meters (m) squared (multiplied by itself).</p>
<p>Clinical guidelines define the desirable weight as a BMI of 20-25. Women and men whose BMI is 26-27 are considered moderately overweight and face moderate health risks. People with BMI over 27 are considered obese and face higher risks.</p>
<p>Weight remains relatively stable for young women up to age 25 to 30. Then weight begins to increase mainly from an increase in body fat. For long term health, the recommendation is to keep your weight in the normal range of BMI, 20-25, with a low-fat diet and regular exercise.</p>
<p>A BMI in the range of 20-25 is associated with normal fertility.</p>
<p>Remember that in order to maintain normal ovulation menstrual cycles and to become pregnant, you must not be too thin or too lean.</p>
<p>The minimum weight for a particular height for maintenance of normal ovulatory cycles , is equivalent to a BMI of 18. For example, for a height of 65 inches, the minimum weight is 108 pounds. If you want to become pregnant, it is advisable to have a BMI above 18.</p>
<p>Research indicates that the hormonal environment for a successful pregnancy outcome will be improved with a BMI over 19.</p>
<p>A BMI of 25-27 is associated with a slight <a target="_new" href="http://infertilitysolutionsonline.com/reason-for-infertility">reduction in fertility</a>; over 27 with a significantly reduced fertility.</p>
<p>In summary, for good health and normal fertility, keep your BMI in the range of 20 to 25.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since centuries ago, the art and often referred to as the health practice of acupuncture has been practiced in various countries mostly in Asia. This elucidates the grandeur as well as the complexity of pinning needles in different parts of the body for different reasons like pain relief and treatment of health issues. The basic effect of acupuncture on infertility is regulating blood pressure of the person done by proper stimulation of the central nervous system. It largely stimulates the production and release of endorphins that help inhibiting the pain and neurohormones and neurotransmitters that allow for the body to heal by itself.</p>
<p>Acupuncture on infertility is also considered as one of the effective treatments on different infertility concerns specifically imbalances on hormones. The levels of hormones are leveled accordingly through increasing blood flow on different vital organs as it regulates the body system. Moreover it also helps enhance the vital functions of the ovaries as well as follicles. Endometrium plays a major role in thickening the uterus lining and also benefits from acupuncture through increased blood flow. A particular infertility treatment like IVF or In Vitro Fertilization is also greatly aided in elevating its success rate. In reality, a large number of specialists now offer acupuncture as part of IVF treatment. This becomes quite noticeable in the developments done in the process of transferring the embryo which results to success in pregnancy. Another particular concern in infertility that can be treated with acupuncture as well is that of having spasmed tubes. This is simply done by making these spasmed tubes into de-spasmed ones. Futheron, there are also plenty of other infertility issues that can be effectively treated with acupuncture such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, increased follicle stimulating hormone, recurring pregnancy loss, idiopathic infertility, luteal phase defect, hyperprolactinemia, and also sperm DNA fragmentation.</p>
<p>The body has the capacity to heal itself naturally and acupuncture also enhances this ability. In this case, the more you undergo acupuncture, the healthier it is. For those women who are about to take IVF treatments or donor egg transfer, they are often dealt with acupuncture for about three to four months before undergoing the said process. Acupuncture is also advised to women before and after they undergo the embryo transfer. This is done for the purpose of enhancing the therapeutic effect along with different infertility treatments. Basically, fertility treatments bring about stress on the person undergoing it. And the best treatment for this is acupuncture. because acupuncture has a lot of ways to add to the treatment of infertility, it is highly advisable for couples who are suffering from this type of concern to give each option a shot.</p>
<p>Acupuncture also involves some risks but they are minimal. However, miscarriage can occur when acupuncture is done improperly on a pregnant woman. This makes it significant to be sure that acupuncture is only to be done by a certified acupuncturist who is adept and who specializes on this therapy. Electro-acupuncture, a more advanced form of acupuncture is used to inhibit pain during labor. The need to be hospitalized is also significantly reduced which helps a person save from further expenses.</p>
<p>Above all else, recent research studies have revealed that the right mix of herbal medicine, acupuncture, and traditional medicine serve as the ultimate formula to cure infertility. In many cases, acupuncture and herbal medicines are considered to be more effective with the help of traditional medical treatments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The main pharmacological activity of extract of Saw Palmetto is the inhibition of the 5th Reductase enzyme and the consequent reduction of the hormone DHT (largely caused inflammation of the prostate urethra and alopecia or baldness).</p>
<p>Saw Palmetto has a specific-inflammatory action on the prostate and urethra significantly reducing discomfort and allowing the retention of sexual desire.</p>
<p>In a clinical study was performed in 350 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia were treated with saw palmetto was observed after 9 weeks of treatment a 47% reduction in the frequency at which they stop to urinate at night an increase of 53% in the urine stream and a reduction of 44% in the urine absent in the bladder (residual urine).</p>
<p>The most significant benefit is that saw palmetto did not cause any side effect being a 100% natural addition to being economical.</p>
<p>The make use of of saw palmetto in men older than 20 years is to maintain and prevent prostate problems.</p>
<p>Some Hiperlasia symptoms related to Prostatic Hyperplasia (BHP) are:</p>
<p>* Difficulty urinating</p>
<p>* Difficulty initiating urination.</p>
<p>* Jet weaker.</p>
<p>* Urinary Retention.</p>
<p>* Needing to urinate more often.</p>
<p>* Waking up several times at night to urinate.</p>
<p>* Premature ejaculation.</p>
<p>* Dribbling of urine at the end</p>
<p>* Painful ejaculation.</p>
<p>* Backaches.</p>
<p>* Testicular pain.</p>
<p>The hormone (DHT) and baldness: Men with androgenetic alopecia or baldness have high levels of a hormone derivative called DHT (dihydrotestosterone) in the scalp. Receptors that capture the DHT body are usually in prostate liver and skin (with hair follicles) in the sebaceous follicles.</p>
<p>DHT contributes to shortening the hair development phase and reduced by acting on the hair follicle that is fed to the follicle producing lipid fat hardening and dehydration of itself that will inhibit hair growth so that new hair do not get to the size or the thickness of their predecessors becoming almost invisible. The number of hairs diminishes with the progressive miniaturization of scalp hair stops the construction of pigment and the affected area may appear bald long before they lose all their hair.</p>
<p>Saw Palmetto and Androgenic alopecia The loss of hair and BHP as we have seen are directly related to DTH hormone formed when the enzyme 5a. reductase interact in male testosterone. Saw palmetto is work by decreasing the 5th. reductase and thus inhibiting the formation of DHT which is the main cause of baldness and BHP is a valuable natural alternative.</p>
<p>The agents that fight the damaging effects of BPH found in saw palmetto can be used productively to combat the effects of the same enzyme DTH in hair loss. Saw palmetto in the doses indicated beginning to show success after 12 weeks of permanent use.</p>
<p>Saw palmetto inhibits DTH in 3 ways:</p>
<p>* Blocking the formation of DHT</p>
<p>* By inhibiting the formation of DHT with the receptor cells of the prostate and</p>
<p>* DHT blocking the arrival of the nucleus of cells.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In&#8217;78, the world&#8217;s first &#8220;test-tube baby&#8221; Louise Brown, was born, thanks to the pioneering efforts of Drs. Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards. Not surprisingly, Louise&#8217;s birth revolutionized reproductive medicine and offered new hope to countless infertile couples. Since her birth, tens of thousands infants have been delivered as a result of in vitro fertilization, more commonly known as IVF. IVF techniques are more sophisticated, more available, and are now considered standard fertility solutions.</p>
<p>Medically, ART does not represent a quantum leap from the treatment you already may be trying. But psychologically, ART does represent a major step for infertile couple; the last hope solution of producing a child who is theirs genetically.</p>
<p>For some couple ART is explored only after low-tech procedures have failed. Others wanting to maximize their odds of success despite the increased cost, may go directly to ART without trying any of the low-tech procedures. Nevertheless, ART may still be a couples last shot at parenthood because of its drain on their pocketbook as well as on their emotional life.</p>
<p>Medically ART embraces many of the low-tech procedures and regimens covered in other treatments. Humegon injections, blood monitoring, ultrasound scans, semen samples, and maybe even a laparoscopy. What&#8217;s different is that eggs are physically removed from the women&#8217;s body. Once removed, the eggs are mixed with sperm in a Petri dish and allowed to fertilize, either on their own or with some specialized assistance, before being transferred into the womb.</p>
<p>Psychologically, people who attempt these procedures must come to grips with the fact that ART is a further cry from lovemaking than is artificial insemination. At least during an insemination sperm is introduced through your vagina, albeit via a tube and syringe. With ART, eggs and sperm disappear behind closed doors, hopefully returning as embryos several days later.</p>
<p>Assisted reproductive technologies make use of laboratory procedures to examine eggs and sperm and enhance their likelihood of <a target='_blank' href="http://infertilitysolutionsonline.com/infertility-solutions">being fertilized</a>. Although there are several variations on ART, they tend to be referred to as in vitro fertilization (IVF). In vitro means &#8220;in glass&#8221;-to refer to glass laboratory dishes in which fertilization takes place.

<p>Once diagnosed by your doctor (an important step to make confident that the symptoms you are experiencing are due to an enlarged prostate and not otherwise) will have to decide whether or not the circumstance is bothering you.

<p>However if you are concerned regarding symptoms or a doctor sees a risk of developing complications from the problem then treating prostate enlargement must be sought.</p>
<p>The first line of protection will be the drug treatment and there are a number of drugs presently in use and others in active testing and development.

<p>If you are not able to treatment (medical or not feeling that drug treatment is effective in his case) then the next step is to consider minimally invasive surgery. A range of procedures available today some of which can be done in a day as outpatients and some of which require a short hospital stay. In most cases minimally invasive surgery is designed to reduce the size of the prostate gland or prostate to remove tissue from the area around the urethra and thus relieve the constriction of the urethra and restore the flow of urine bladder.</p>
<p>If these treatment modalities are inadequate or have been tested and proven to be ineffective then the enlarged prostate treatment will be surgery. Two operations are usually undertaken TUIP, TURP and both of which can be performed laparoscopically or using robot technology and require a hospital stay of 2 to 3 days. In other cases especially when the prostate is much enlarged the traditional open surgery can be performed with general hospitalization lasting about a week</p>
