Understanding Prostate Cancer

The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder in men. It plays an important role in producing fluid for semen. Prostate cancer develops when cells in the prostate start to grow uncontrollably. In its early stages, it may not show symptoms. That’s why routine checkups are important especially for men over 50 or those with a family history of prostate cancer.

Common symptoms may include:

• Difficulty starting or stopping urination
  
  
• Weak or interrupted urine flow
  
  
• Frequent urination, especially at night
  
  
• Pain or burning while urinating
  
  
• Blood in urine or semen
  
  
• Pain in the lower back, hips, or pelvis
  
  

If you or someone you know is experiencing these signs, consulting a prostate cancer specialist in Ahmedabad, he can help in early detection and timely treatment.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

At our clinic, we uses advanced diagnostic tools to detect and assess prostate cancer. These include:

• PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood test
  
  
• Digital rectal examination (DRE)
  
  
• MRI and ultrasound scans
  
  
• Prostate biopsy for confirming diagnosis
  
  
• Staging tests to check if cancer has spread
  
  

Early diagnosis plays a key role in treatment success. Our clinic provides a calm and professional setting where patients feel supported throughout their evaluation.

Treatment Options Available at Uro Health

Treatment for prostate cancer depends on many factors such as age, stage of the disease, and overall health. we provides a personalized plan that suits your condition and lifestyle. Some of the treatment options include:

1. Active Surveillance:
   In some cases, if the cancer is slow-growing and not causing symptoms, Dr. Jain may recommend regular monitoring instead of immediate treatment.
   
   
2. Surgery:
   One of the most effective ways to treat prostate cancer is surgical removal of the prostate gland (prostatectomy). we specializes in minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery, which allow faster recovery and reduced side effects.
   
   
3. Radiation Therapy:
   This method uses high energy rays to target and destroy cancer cells. It can be used as the primary treatment or after surgery.
   
   
4. Hormone Therapy:
   Also called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), this approach reduces the levels of male hormones that fuel cancer growth.
   
   
5. Chemotherapy:
   Used for advanced cases, this method uses drugs to kill cancer cells that may have spread beyond the prostate.
   
   
6. Supportive Care:
   At our clinic, we provide complete support including diet advice, psychological support, and follow-up plans to improve quality of life during and after treatment.
