The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Methods of weight loss that scientific research supports include the following:
1. Trying intermittent fasting
Intermittent fasting (IF) is a pattern of eating that involves regular short-term fasts and consuming
meals within a shorter time period during the day.
Several studies
have indicated that short-term intermittent fasting, which is up to 24 weeks in
duration, leads to weight loss in overweight individuals.
The most common intermittent fasting methods include the following:
Alternate day fasting
(ADF): Fast every other day and eat normally on non-fasting days.
The modified version
involves eating just 25–30 percent of the body’s energy needs on
fasting days.
The 5:2 Diet: Fast on 2 out of every 7 days. On fasting days eat 500–600 calories.

2. The 16/8 method: Fast for 16 hours and eat only during an 8-hour window. For most
people, the 8-hour window would be around noon to 8 p.m. A study on this method found
that eating during a restricted period resulted in the participants consuming fewer calories
and losing weight.
It is best to adopt a healthy eating pattern on non-fasting days and to avoid over-eating.
2. Tracking your diet and exercise
If someone wants to lose weight, they should be aware of everything that they eat and drink
each day. The most effective way to do this is to log every item that they consume, in either a
journal or an online food tracker.
Researchers estimated in 2017 that there would be 3.7 billion health app downloads by the end
of the year. Of these, apps for diet, physical activity, and weight loss were among the most
popular. This is not without reason, as tracking physical activity and weight loss progress on-the-
go can be an effective way of managing weight
.
One study
found that consistent tracking of physical activity helped with weight loss.
Meanwhile, a review study
found a positive correlation between weight loss and the frequency
of monitoring food intake and exercise. Even a device as simple as a pedometer can be a useful
weight-loss tool.
3. Eating mindfully
Mindful eating is a practice where people pay attention to how and where they eat food. This
practice can enable people to enjoy the food they eat and maintain a healthy weight
.
As most people lead busy lives, they often tend to eat quickly on the run, in the car, working at
their desks, and watching TV. As a result, many people are barely aware of the food they are
eating.
Techniques for mindful eating include:
Sitting down to eat, preferably at a table: Pay attention to the food and enjoy the
experience.
Avoiding distractions while eating: Do not turn on the TV, or a laptop or phone.
Eating slowly: Take time to chew and savor the food. This technique helps with weight
loss, as it gives a person’s brain enough time to recognize the signals that they are full,
which can help to prevent over-eating.
Making considered food choices: Choose foods that are full of nourishing nutrients and
those that will satisfy for hours rather than minutes.
4. Eating protein for breakfast
Protein can regulate appetite hormones to help people feel full. This is mostly due to a decrease
in the hunger hormone ghrelin and a rise in the satiety hormones peptide YY, GLP-1, and
cholecystokinin
.
Research
on young adults has also demonstrated that the hormonal effects of eating a high-
protein breakfast can last for several hours.
Good choices for a high-protein breakfast include eggs, oats, nut and seed butters, quinoa
porridge, sardines, and chia seed pudding.
5. Cutting back on sugar and refined carbohydrates
The Western diet is increasingly high in added sugars, and this has definite links to obesity
,
even when the sugar occurs in beverages
rather than food.
Refined carbohydrates are heavily processed foods that no longer contain fiber and other
nutrients. These include white rice, bread, and pasta.
These foods are quick to digest, and they convert to glucose rapidly.
Excess glucose enters the blood and provokes the hormone insulin, which promotes fat storage
in the adipose tissue. This contributes to weight gain.

3. Where possible, people should swap processed and sugary foods for more healthful options.
Good food swaps include:
whole-grain rice, bread, and pasta instead of the white versions
fruit, nuts, and seeds instead of high-sugar snacks
herb teas and fruit-infused water instead of high-sugar sodas
smoothies with water or milk instead of fruit juice
6. Eating plenty of fiber
Dietary fiber describes plant-based carbohydrates that it is not possible to digest in the small
intestine, unlike sugar and starch. Including plenty of fiber in the diet can increase the feeling of
fullness, potentially leading to weight loss.
Fiber-rich foods include:
whole-grain breakfast cereals, whole-wheat pasta, whole-grain bread, oats, barley, and rye
fruit and vegetables
peas, beans, and pulses
nuts and seeds
7. Balancing gut bacteria
One emerging area of research is focusing on the role of bacteria in the gut on weight
management.
The human gut hosts a vast number and variety of microorganisms, including around 37 trillion
bacteria.
Every individual has different varieties and amounts of bacteria in their gut. Some types can
increase the amount of energy that the person harvests from food, leading to fat deposition and
weight gain.
Some foods can increase the number of good bacteria in the gut, including:
A wide variety of plants: Increasing the number of fruits, vegetables, and grains in the diet
will result in an increased fiber uptake and a more diverse set of gut bacteria. People
should try to ensure that vegetables and other plant-based foods comprise 75 percent of
their meal.
Fermented foods: These enhance the function of good bacteria while inhibiting the growth
of bad bacteria. Sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, yogurt, tempeh, and miso all contain good
amounts of probiotics, which help to increase good bacteria. Researchers have studied
kimchi widely, and study results suggest that it has anti-obesity effects. Similarly, studies
have shown that kefir may help to promote weight loss in overweight women.
Prebiotic foods: These stimulate the growth and activity of some of the good bacteria that
aid weight control. Prebiotic fiber occurs in many fruits and vegetables, especially chicory
root, artichoke, onion, garlic, asparagus, leeks, banana, and avocado. It is also in grains,
such as oats and barley.
8. Getting a good night’s sleep
Numerous studies have shown that getting less than 5–6 hours of sleep per night is associated
with increased incidence of obesity
. There are several reasons behind this.
Research suggests
that insufficient or poor-quality sleep slows down the process in which the
body converts calories to energy, called metabolism. When metabolism is less effective, the
body may store unused energy as fat. In addition, poor sleep can increase the production of
insulin and cortisol
, which also prompt fat storage.
How long someone sleeps also affects the regulation of the appetite-controlling hormones leptin
and ghrelin. Leptin sends signals of fullness to the brain.
9. Managing your stress levels
Stress triggers the release of hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which initially decrease
