All of you
might be aware that the prostate surgery is often seen as a solution for
curing enlarge prostate or cancer. However there are certain side effects
that can be attributed to this problem. There have been many reports by
doctors and health care institutions that prove the above statement.
Before taking your decision to go for prostate surgery, it is really important
to consult your doctor and get his advice. A number of people suffer from
this problem of prostate enlargement as they age. Doctors suggest that
prostate surgery is required in case of cancer however there are other
options as well in case of enlarged prostate.
Apart from surgery, drug therapies and other non surgical operations can
also be done. Thus before taking any decision of going for a prostate
surgery you must also consider a number of aspects relating to one’s
physical health.
One of the side effects of the prostate surgery is Urinary Dysfunction.
This means that the patient experiences pain while urinating. This is
a very common side effect and can be seen in most of the post prostate
surgery cases. Erectile Dysfunction is yet another side effect that is
experienced by the patients who are getting surgical treatment for themselves.
This happens since the nerves that are present near the prostate get removed
during the surgery. However it is not much to be worried about since there
are treatments available for erectile dysfunction.
Bowel Dysfunction is another result of prostate surgery. It may be due
to the damage caused to rectum. The patient may also be subject to pain
and bleeding. However this is short term since this the pain and bleeding
will easily disappear in a few weeks or months. The patient can also go
for some additional treatment in case both of these symptoms do not disappear.
Infertility can also be something that may be a cause of worry to the
patient. This has been reported by the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
The basic reason for infertility is due to the fact that the seminal vesicles
as well as prostate are removed on the account of surgery. The person
may also face trauma which might be yet another reason for infertility.
Premature and Retrograde ejaculation is another side effect which patient
may have to bear. Premature ejaculation means the release of the semen
before a man reaches climax during the sexual intercourse. In retrograde
ejaculation, the semen enters the bladder and can mix up with the urine.
Hence these
are some of the bad impacts of the prostate surgery which one may have
to face. Hence it is always better to consult your doctor before reaching
any final step. You must think of all the complications and problems as
well as the negative and positive aspects of getting a surgical treatment
for yourself. This is really important since your health is in your hands.
If you make a small mistake, it can cost you severely.
