Prof. Dr. Tunç Ozan discusses prostate disease management and early diagnosis
Prof. Dr. Tunç Ozan, a faculty member at Fırat University Hospital Department of Urology, has provided detailed information regarding prostate diseases, emphasizing the importance of awareness and early diagnosis.
Prostate issues are categorized into benign and malignant groups. Benign conditions include prostatitis, which is more common in younger age groups and can present as acute or chronic, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which typically affects men over 50 or 60. Symptoms of prostatitis include burning during urination, groin pain, and difficulty urinating. BPH is characterized by frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and potential urinary tract infections. Treatments for benign conditions range from lifestyle changes and pharmacotherapy to surgical interventions, such as open or closed techniques, if medication is insufficient.
Malignant prostate cancer increases in frequency after certain ages. Prof. Dr. Ozan noted that prostate cancer is a group of diseases that can be completely cured if detected in the early stages. He recommends that men over 60 monitor symptoms closely and undergo regular urological check-ups, noting that awareness is critical for successful treatment.
