One false objection sometimes heard

And this state of affairs can only re¬

PROSTRATE FREQUENT SITE
OF TROUBLE IN OLDER MEN
By The Medical Association
of Georgia
Men over 50 are often troubled with
conditions that make urination diffi¬
is cult, the Enlargement of the prostate gland
most common of these conditions.
The prostate gland is located at the
neck of the urinary bladder. It sur¬
rounds the tube that carries urine from
the bladder—called the urethra—like
insulating material around a wire. The
prostate acts as a sort of valve which
shuts off the bladder so that urine
doesn’t come into contact with sperm
cells.
Causes of prostatic enlargement
aren’t known. But, as a result of the
enlargement, pressure is put on the
urethra and often upon the bladder
itself. As the prostate gets larger, the
patient becomes less able to empty
the bladder completely.
Oftentimes the patient will be un¬
aware that anything is wrong. But
there are some danger signals. He
may start getting up to urinate more
have frequently at night. Perhaps he will
to strain in order to urinate or
may not be able to urinate at all.
Then it may be necessary to remove
the urine WBDUgh a tube or catheter.
There may be blood in the urine.
Many men tolerate the bother of get¬
ting up many times during the night
very well. Their fathers and grand¬
fathers may have had to put up with
the same’ trouble. So long as there is
no pain associated with their frequent
urination, they may figure it is just
the normal state of affairs.
But it is important for them to
make sure that something serious isn’t
causing the change in their habits.
Sometimes cancer of the prostate can
produce the same symptoms as simple
enlargement of the gland. If cancer
is the cause, treatment is needed and
the sooner it is started, the better the
chances of cure.
As the prostate enlarges, accumula¬
tion of urine in the bladder may be¬
come infected. When the gland be¬
comes infected, there will usually be a
rise in temperature, pain at the site of
infection and a discharge. Sometimes
an abscess occurs..
There are causes of inflammation of
the prostate besides enlargement of
the gland. Some of them are a stone
in the prostate, a narrow urethra and
spread of infection from other parts
of the body or from the urethra. In
younger men, the prostate is usually
affected by one of these conditions
rather than by simple enlargement.
Treatment for an infected prostate
varies, depending on the type of in¬
fection. In general, bed rest, limiting
of fluids and eating bland foods are
called for. Drugs may be used to con¬
trol the infection.
When the gland is enlarged, sur¬
gery is often necessary. In the past,
surgery for enlargement of the pros¬
tate gland included an operation in
two stages and was definitely a serious
operation.
simpler Today a new technique permits
removal of the enlarged gland.
With better methods of producing and
in maintaining blood anesthesia, improvements
ability transfusions, and the avail¬
of drugs to control infection
better, the death rate from the opera¬
tion is very low.
Doc MAG says:
1, One of the first symptoms of
prostate trouble is a frequent desire
to urinate, particularly at night. The
amount of urine passed is less than
normal and urination may require
much effort. As the condition con¬
tinues, urination becomes more difficult
and urine accumulating in the bladder
may become infected. This may require
removal o^the urine through a tube.
2. If complications occur, surgery
may be necessary.
