eturauhasessa

Eturauhasessa is a Finnish term that translates to "in the prostate" in English. It refers to the anatomical location of the prostate gland, a walnut-sized gland in the male reproductive system that surrounds the urethra just below the bladder. The prostate produces seminal fluid, a component of semen.

Medical conditions affecting the prostate are often described using this term. For example, inflammation of the prostate is known as prostatitis, and enlargement of the prostate, a common condition in older men, is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Prostate cancer is a malignant growth within the prostate gland. Symptoms associated with these conditions can include difficulties with urination, such as frequent urination, a weak stream, or a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. Pain in the pelvic area or during ejaculation can also be indicative of prostate issues. Diagnosis and treatment of prostate-related problems are handled by urologists. The term eturauhasessa, therefore, is crucial for precise communication in medical contexts concerning male reproductive and urinary health in Finland and in Finnish medical literature.
