Prostate Health & Surgery
What Is Prostate Cancer & Why Prostate Health Matters in Dubai
Prostate cancer begins when cells in the prostate gland grow out of control. In Dubai—where regular executive check‑ups are common—more men are catching the disease early, often during a simple PSA blood test. A healthy prostate keeps urine flow steady and supports fertility; when it enlarges or turns cancerous, it can trigger weak stream, night‑time bathroom trips, pelvic pain, or blood in urine. Early detection means gentler treatment and better quality of life, so men aged 45 + (or younger with a family history) should add an annual prostate screen to their wellness routine.
Prostate Surgery Procedure in Dubai
Most leading hospitals in Dubai now use robot‑assisted techniques for prostate surgery. After pre‑operative imaging and an MRI‑fusion biopsy, you’ll be admitted for a da Vinci‑guided radical prostatectomy under general anaesthesia. The surgeon removes the cancerous gland through five key‑hole incisions, carefully sparing the nerves that control continence and erections. Patients typically walk the same evening, stay one night, and fly home within two weeks. For benign enlargement (BPH), laser options such as HoLEP or GreenLight vaporise extra tissue without an open cut, letting you leave the hospital the same day.
What You Need to Know Before Treatment
Confirm the diagnosis with a certified uro‑pathologist, review your MRI with a fellowship‑trained urologist, and ask whether nerve‑monitoring will be used during surgery—this technology lowers the risk of erectile dysfunction. Check insurance pre‑approval, since most UAE policies cover robotic removal when clinically indicated. Finally, plan recovery: light office work is possible in 7–10 days, but heavy lifting should wait four weeks
Causes & Symptoms of Prostate Cancer
Age (50 +), a first‑degree relative with prostate or breast cancer, high‑fat diets, obesity, and low vitamin D levels raise risk. Early cancer is often silent, but warning signs can include frequent urination at night, difficulty starting or stopping flow, pain or burning during urination, blood in urine or semen, and dull ache in the lower back or pelvis. Any of these signals warrant immediate evaluation by a Dubai‑licensed urologist.
