Prostate

Common symptoms of prostate problems include pain in the penis and testicles, pain while urinating or ejaculating, and erectile dysfunction. Some individuals experience frequent urination, especially at night, a weak or slow urine stream, and blood in the urine or semen.

Diagnosis of prostate conditions begins with a thorough review of symptoms and medical history. A digital rectal examination helps identify enlargement, irregularities, or firmness in the prostate gland. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests and biopsies help confirm or rule out cancer. These advanced assessments guide accurate planning and ensure the best treatment for prostate in Pune.

Treatment varies depending on the specific prostate condition. Options may include medications, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery. For prostate cancer, therapies such as brachytherapy, focal therapy, and laser-based treatments may be recommended.

Patients undergoing prostate treatment in Pune, at Manipal Hospitals, can expect compassionate, patient-centric care throughout their journey. The journey begins with a thorough review of symptoms and medical history. Diagnosis is confirmed from the findings of the physical examination, blood tests, and imaging tools.

For prostate cancer, internal radiation therapy and focal therapy are used to treat the cancerous area while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. These may include high-intensity focused ultrasound, cryotherapy, laser ablation and photodynamic therapy.

Prostatitis is treated with medications to relax the prostate muscles, along with lifestyle adjustments that help reduce inflammation and discomfort. For enlarged prostates, medications are used to relax the muscles and shrink the prostate. If symptoms persist, minimally invasive procedures such as transurethral resection, transurethral incision of the prostate, or transurethral microwave thermotherapy may be recommended. For patients unsuitable for traditional surgery, laser-based treatments, including ablative or enucleative procedures, provide effective alternatives.

After treatment,  follow-up appointments include regular screenings, scans, and biopsies to monitor prostate health and prevent recurrence. Patients are advised on lifestyle modifications, activity restrictions, and dose adjustments based on symptoms. Skilled specialists providing the best treatment for prostate in Pune ensure long-term care and continued support.
