Ways to reduce PSA in adenoma

Thanks to the prostate gland, the vitality of the sperm is maintained. Erection in men also depends on the health of the prostate. At the cellular level, the prostate produces special proteins (PSA). This protein lowers the viscosity of sperm during eruption. To diagnose various diseases of the prostate gland, a study is carried out for the number of dogs (study of a prostatic, specific agent).

In men, prostate adenoma (benign hyperplasia) is most common. The disease is terrible for its transformation into prostate cancer. PSA analysis for prostate adenoma allows you to consider the proliferation of prostate tissue at the initial stage of the disease. Thanks to this research, it is possible to apply modern therapy.

PSA in prostate adenoma is also detected to control therapeutic methods, during a decrease in the level of the considered protein and diagnosis by a differential method.

Rules of Procedure: Permissible and Unacceptable Norms

The produced protein in very small quantities penetrates into the plasma, therefore, for analysis, it is enough to take blood from a vein. By blood, PSA is determined in free or bound form. Differentiation requires analysis of free-form PSA with binding antigens.

If there is no adenoma and other pathologies, the level of PSA in the blood is 0-4 nanograms in one milliliter of plasma. The runaway rate depends on the age of the men. In men under 50, the norm does not exceed 2.5 ng, after 55 - PSA is found from 3.5 to 4 ng.

Men with adenoma have a PSA level of 4-9 ng, in some cases the values exceed 11 ng. Diagnostic data determine the clinical picture, according to which adequate treatment is selected. With PSA values above 10 ng, a specialist may assume the development of a malignant formation. For refutation or confirmation, additional examination is required.

When an elevated PSA is considered normal

Elevated PSA in men is considered normal in cases such as:

• adenoma;
• the presence of a catheter in the urinary tract;
• after rectal examinations and prostate massage;
• taking a biopsy;
• sexual intercourse before taking the test;
• taking testosterone medication.

For the analysis to be correct, you must follow all the rules before submitting the material:

• do not have sexual intercourse until testing for 3-5 days;
• at least 2 weeks should elapse after the catheter is applied;
• 60 days must elapse after drug therapy;
• blood is donated on an empty stomach;

How to reduce the PSA concentration of the prostate gland? Your healthcare professional may prescribe protein-lowering therapy.

• medications help lower PSA levels (drugs are selected by a doctor based on the severity of the pathology);
• physiotherapy into lowering methods that improve microcirculation in the prostate;
• surgery - helps lower PSA by removing tissue from the adenoma (transurethral resection).

In addition to medical care, you can lower the PSA level with folk remedies.

Traditional medicine help

Folk remedies help to lower PSA by improving the process of urine emission. For this, decoctions of herbs (celandine, horsetail, yarrow, calendula) are used.

The result of the analysis improves after the use of products from beekeeping products, they contain useful substances to strengthen the protective functions in the fight against diseases. The most commonly used honey and propolis.

Medical manipulations should be verified by repeated analyzes. You should not rely on traditional medicine alone. Of course, natural remedies have a very strong effect, but the best results of therapy are obtained by patients who used complex treatment with traditional methods.

With prostate adenoma, an integrated approach is required during treatment. Particular attention is paid to the diet used and the usual way of life. Dairy, meat and fish products of fatty varieties should be removed from the diet. These foods increase PSA.

There is a large amount of fat in butter, it should be excluded from the diet, as well as smoked meats and canned food.

How to lower PSA with food? The diet should be supplemented with foods:

• vegetable and fruit fruits (juices), great benefits noted after eating pomegranates and tomatoes;
• berries, grapes;
• chicken fillet, turkey can be eaten;
• nuts;
• lean fish.

The dog should be lowered by steaming dishes, baked in the oven, you can cook in a slow cooker.

Prostatic protein increases greatly from fried foods.

What causes the increase in PSA in plasma

The reasons for increasing PSA are:

• stimulation of the prostate gland by riding horses, massaging, long cycling, cystoscopy, taking nitrates and ascorbic acid.

This is only an external influence contributing to the penetration of an increased amount of protein into the blood.

There are cases when PSA is ingested in large quantities:

• overgrowth of prostate tissue with adenoma (benign tumor);
• malignant neoplasms (cancer);
• inflammation of the prostate and genitourinary system;
• prostate abscess;
• formation of cystic phenomena in the prostate;
• penetration of viruses, infections, bacteria into the genitourinary sphere;
• an enlarged prostate due to age-related changes.

In case of a cancer diagnosis, medical, folk tactics of treatment with the use of radiation therapy (ionization of cancer cells) are used. In severe cases, prostatectomy of the prostate (organ removal) is used to prevent irreparable consequences.

In order to avoid serious methods, it is required to seek medical help at the first unpleasant symptomatology in the organs of the urinary and reproductive system - it is easier to prevent the disease than to treat it later. Elderly and middle-aged men should be seen regularly by a urologist and periodically checked for PSA levels (annual check-up).

During a routine examination, the specialist excludes all possible factors of external influence on the prostate gland, if necessary, he can prescribe an additional study of ultrasound, biopsy, MRI, X-ray and a number of tests.
