Russia.. Registration of a new drug to treat prostate cancer
According to him, maintaining the health of the urinary and reproductive systems in men requires understanding the body’s structure and potential risks, including benign prostatic hyperplasia, which affects a large percentage of men after the age of 35-40 years. Its development is believed to be related to hormonal changes and inflammatory processes, but the exact cause is still unknown.
The doctor points out that there are many theories about the causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia, but researchers have not reached a conclusive conclusion yet. Perhaps new technologies in the future will provide an answer to this question. Therefore, doctors are currently focusing on infection control and prevention of chronic prostatitis.
He says: “It turns out that benign prostatic hyperplasia is accompanied by inflammation in 44% of cases. It was later proven that prostatitis may contribute, along with other factors, to the development of benign changes in the prostate, that is, its benign growth. This means that after the age of 35 years, the process of gradual enlargement of the prostate begins.”
As a rule, an enlarged prostate puts pressure on the urethra. Modern medicine can slow their growth using medications and minimally invasive treatment methods, including hot steam therapy.
According to him, this treatment stimulates the immune system to eliminate enlarged tissues. This technology was used over two years to treat about 300 patients, and it proved highly effective.

The doctor confirms that this technique allows the complete preservation of the man's sexual function, without affecting the amount of semen, unlike some traditional interventions, such as laser prostatectomy and tissue removal using unipolar and bipolar rings.
According to him, prostatitis may occur without obvious pain in the pelvic area, but it may be accompanied by an increase in body temperature to 39 degrees Celsius or more. In this case, the man may not show signs of respiratory disease, and the classic symptoms of prostatitis, such as severe pain or urinary retention, may be unclear. Therefore, to prevent scarring of prostate tissue, you should consult a doctor immediately.
The specialist points out another common condition, which is cystitis, which affects men at a lower rate than women. However, it is recommended, regardless of gender, to consult a specialist doctor as soon as symptoms of cystitis appear to prevent the condition from developing.
He says: "If chronic cystitis is diagnosed, that is, when three attacks occur annually, it is recommended to perform an endoscopy of the bladder and urethra with a biopsy."
According to him, in this case, doctors culture a urine sample to determine the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics, in addition to examining the mucous membrane using an endoscope.
The doctor warns against taking testosterone supplements, noting that they may cause infertility in men. Some people often take these supplements with the aim of achieving better sports results or improving performance, which may lead to serious health problems.
According to him, high doses of testosterone may completely destroy the epithelial tissue responsible for sperm production in young men. Thus, the man can have sexual intercourse, but the semen may be devoid of sperm.
He says: “In short, the epithelial cells responsible for producing sperm are completely destroyed by high doses of testosterone. As for the licensed nutritional supplements intended for men, they do not cause negative effects, while high doses of testosterone lead to harmful effects.”
