Prostate resurfacing: Side effects of TURP

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), also known as prostate planing, is a surgical procedure frequently performed to relieve the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This condition, common in men over 50, is characterized by an abnormal increase in the volume of the prostate gland, leading to urinary problems that can be severe, such as urinary retention or frequent urination.

Exercises to reduce prostate volume

Kegel exercises are specifically designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles support the bladder and help control the urethra, which is crucial for relieving the urinary symptoms of BPH.
To practice, identify the muscles of the perineum by trying to stop the flow of urine. Contract these muscles and hold for 5 seconds, then relax for 5 seconds. Repeat this exercise 10 to 15 times, 3 times a day. These exercises can be done discreetly at any time and are particularly useful for improving urinary control in men suffering from BPH or who have undergone prostate surgery.

Prohibited foods for the prostate: Which ones?

The prostate is an essential gland of the male reproductive system, located just below the bladder and surrounding the urethra. This small, walnut-sized gland plays a crucial role in the production of seminal fluid, which transports and nourishes sperm. However, with age, the prostate can become prone to various problems, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), inflammation (prostatitis) and prostate cancer. The right diet can play a key role in preventing these disorders. Here's a detailed look at the foods to avoid to preserve prostate health.

Prostate cancer: Survival and stage types
