Prostate disorders affect the prostate, a small gland in the male reproductive system that produces fluid for semen. These conditions include enlargement, inflammation and cancer. They may develop due to ageing, infection, hormonal changes, or abnormal cell growth. Symptoms often affect urination and sexual function. Specialists at Manipal Hospitals assess concerns and provide appropriate management to support overall prostate health.

Prostate disorders affect the prostate, a small gland in the male reproductive system that produces fluid for semen. These conditions include enlargement, inflammation and cancer. They may develop due to ageing, infection, hormonal changes, or abnormal cell growth. Symptoms often affect urination and sexual function. Specialists at Manipal Hospitals assess concerns and provide appropriate management to support overall prostate health.
Prostate symptoms vary depending on the underlying condition. Common signs include blood in semen or urine, difficulty starting urination, dribbling, and sudden urges to urinate. Pain during urination, ejaculation, or sexual intercourse, loss of bladder control and erectile difficulties may occur.
Prostate diagnosis begins with a clinical evaluation and review of symptoms and medical history. Doctors may perform a digital rectal examination and recommend a prostate-specific antigen blood test. Urine tests help detect infection or other abnormalities. Imaging, cystoscopy, or biopsy may be advised when required. These assessments help specialists at Manipal Hospitals identify the cause and plan appropriate management.
Prostate treatment options focus on managing the condition and supporting prostate health. Care may include regular screenings, physical activity, and healthy eating habits. In certain cases, like cancer, surgery may be considered.
The prostate treatment journey begins with a detailed consultation to review symptoms, medical history, and test results. Doctors assess findings from examinations, blood tests, urine tests, and imaging studies. Based on the cause, such as enlargement, inflammation, or cancer, doctors create an individualised plan. Specialists at Manipal Hospitals focus on easing discomfort and protecting overall health. Management may include medicines, monitoring, or procedures to relieve urinary blockage. Clear communication helps patients understand their diagnosis and treatment plan.
During care, doctors monitor symptom improvement and any changes in sexual or bladder function. Recovery depends on the selected prostate treatment options and the individual’s general health. Some people require only lifestyle guidance and regular screenings. Others may need ongoing medical support or follow-up visits after procedures. Patients receive advice on physical activity, a healthy diet, and stopping tobacco use to support prostate health. Follow-up assessments help ensure stable recovery and early identification of recurring concerns.
The exact cause of Crohn’s disease is not fully understood. In people who are genetically at risk, it is believed to result from an abnormal immune response to intestinal microbes. Changes in gut bacteria, smoking, and infections may also contribute.
Ulcerative colitis is restricted to the colon and only affects the superficial mucosal layer. Crohn’s disease can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. It may involve deeper layers of the bowel wall and can occur in patchy segments.
Diet plays an important role in managing Crohn’s disease. A personalised nutrition plan helps reduce digestive discomfort, prevent nutritional deficiencies, and support healing during flare-ups. Dietary adjustments are often recommended based on symptom severity and individual tolerance.
Surgery may be required when complications such as strictures, fistulas, or abscesses develop. It may also be recommended if symptoms do not improve with medication. Surgery can relieve symptoms, but recurrence remains possible.
Active Crohn’s disease during pregnancy may increase the risk of miscarriage, preterm birth, or low birth weight. Well-controlled disease usually allows safe pregnancy outcomes. Careful medical supervision is recommended before and during pregnancy.
