Enlarged Prostate Gland treatment in Ayurveda
Prostate gland is a gland surrounding the neck of the bladder in male mammals
and releasing prostatic fluid. The technical or literal meaning of
prostate is “Protector” or the one who stands before like a guard. Basically it’s
a guard to the pipe which carries urine from urinary bladder to outside. This
protects the urethra in men because the urinary pipe in men is much longer than
in females and needs protection. It not only guards the urethra but also guards
the sperms by its secretions. The secretions are highly alkaline and protect
the sperms from acidic media in the vagina, thereby helping the sperm to lead a
longer life span.
Size and Location of Prostate Gland
A healthy male’s prostate gland is about 11
grams in weight, which is a little bigger than the size of a walnut.
The part of urethra which is surrounded by
prostate gland is called Prostatic urethra. If the prostate gland grows bigger
in size, it presses down on this portion of urethra leading to symptoms like
urinary urge, drop by drop urination, difficult and painful urination. Since
the ejaculatory ducts also open in the urethra in this region, there can be
pain during the ejaculation as well, if the prostate is enlarged.
Zones of Prostate
Gland
Prostate is an exocrine gland, found in
mammals and is divided into 4 zones i.e. Peripheral ( 70 % ) Central ( 25 % ) Transition zone ( 5 % ) and fibro-muscular zone (5 % )
In Peripheral zone, 70-80 % of prostate
cancers origin in this area and Benign prostate enlargement happens mostly in
Transition zone.
Sometimes the zones are also classified into
lobes
Anterior Lobe is transitional zone, Posterior
Lobe is Peripheral zone, Lateral lobes are all over the zones and Median lobe
is roughly the central zone.
Function of Prostate Gland
As mentioned above, the meaning of Prostate is to protect like a
guard. The secretions from the gland are slightly alkaline and help the
spermatozoa to live for longer span and stay motile in the highly acidic
vaginal secretions. The sperms which are expelled along with prostatic
secretions have better motility, longer survival and better protection of the
genetic material.

What are PSA levels and other ways to find Enlarged prostate or Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer is one of the significant
causes of death in elderly men and is one of the most common cancers. The
increased PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) in blood, enlarged prostate by rectal
exam and measurement of a protein in urine called – Engrailed-2 or EN2 can lead
to diagnosis of enlarged prostate and Prostate cancer.
As mentioned above, the prostate cancer mainly
begins in the Peripheral zone of the prostate and Benign prostatic hypertrophy
occurs mainly in the transitional zone.
The PSA levels help to establish if the
prostatic enlargement is benign or cancerous. There are however Ayurvedic
remedies and natural treatment options which help to reduce the PSA levels and
keep them in control to normal limits. There are certain Ayurvedic medicines
which help to reduce the size of the prostate in case of Benign prostatic
hypertrophy.
