Treatment of prostate cancer in Israeli clinics

First, the prostate gland, or prostate, is an important part of the male reproductive system.

The prostate is the sex gland of a man who is under the bladder. It produces a seminal fluid that takes the sperm out of the body as part of the seminal fluid. A healthy prostate is the same size as a walnut.

Prostate cancer is an uncontrolled spread (or malignant growth) of abnormal prostate cells. If the prostate becomes too large, it squeezes the urethra, a channel that allows the fluid to leave the body through the penis, which in turn can slow or stop the flow of urine.

The usual symptoms of prostate cancer are usually noticeable when the tumor begins to spread and pressurize the urethra. Difficulty urinating, as well as significantly frequent urination, pain during the urination process, the presence of blood in the urine or bleeding after intercourse are part of the symptoms of prostate cancer. In Israel, there are several private medical centers for the treatment of prostate cancer. The Herzliya Medical Center is one of the best that offers services such as cancer diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, follow-up after treatment and much more. Diagnosis of prostate cancer is usually done with the help of manual examination, as well as palpation of the gland. Screening tests and antigen testing of serum of the prostate in the blood are also required.

Modern Israel has one of the first places in the world medical rating. The new equipment and facilities, as well as highly qualified specialists and medical personnel - is the highest level in the medical field. In terms of life expectancy, the inhabitants of Israel occupy the second place in the world, quite a bit inferior to the inhabitants of Japan.
