Treatment of prostate adenoma in Turkey
Prostate adenoma in men occurs as a result of an enlargement of prostate gland. The disease is manifested by the proliferation of gland tissue and the appearance of benign growths.
Gland hyperplasia is associated with hormonal age-related alterations. Therefore, after 40-50 years the risk of developing the disease increases.
Since the prostate gland is located near the urethra, when it expands, it squeezes urethra. As a result, there are various problems with urination.
