Prostate problems
For men over 50, the most common prostate problem is prostate enlargement. This condition is also called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Older men are at risk for prostate cancer as well, but this disease is much less common than BPH. Right below the bladder in men is a small walnut-shaped organ called the prostate gland. It is wrapped around the urethra, and other than closing the urethra during an erection, the prostate has nothing to do with a mans urinary system. The prostate is needed for ejaculation, and its basic job is to add special fluid to the sperm before it exits the penis during ejaculation. This is why Prostate Problems interfere with a mans ability to urinate and to have sex.
