Inquire about your father, uncle, or any older gentleman above the age of 60 the next time you meet them. If you know the guy well enough and he feels comfortable with you (some may say too comfortable), he will undoubtedly discuss a laundry list of common prostate problems that are affecting him, have bothered him in the past, or will trouble him in the future. That’s because, after a guy reaches a certain age, an enlarged prostate, benign prostatic hypertrophy, and even prostate cancer are all possibilities.
It’s the frightening but realistic reality of growing older as a guy. Every male, for example, should be aware that prostate cancer is one of the most common prostate disorders. It ranks first on the list of cancers that affect males, affecting nearly as many men as breast cancer does in women. Prostate cancer, on the other hand, does not receive the same level of attention as breast cancer, owing to the fact that most men would prefer not talk about what’s going on down there.
The second thing most guys don’t know about their prostate, but should, is what it is. The prostate gland is a component of a man’s sexual organs. The prostate is a walnut-sized organ that sits directly below the bladder and wraps around the urethra in men. In the birds-and-bees scheme of things, its primary function is to add fluid to your sperm during ejaculation.
Men don’t always recognize they have a prostate because it’s a concealed inside organ, but when they have a typical prostate disease, they rapidly learn what and where their prostate is.
For example, all men should be aware that prostate problems aren’t exclusive to the elderly. Prostatitis, or an exceedingly painful infection of the prostate, can strike men under the age of 50.
This is a swelling of the prostate that causes a fever, a burning sensation when urinating, and exhaustion.
And all men over the age of 50 should be aware of the most frequent prostate problem: an enlarged prostate, often known as benign prostatic hypertrophy.
This benign (non-fatal) illness is significantly more frequent in older men than prostate cancer, which should provide some solace to older men once they are aware of it.
Men should be aware of the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy, which include urination leakage and dribbling, a weak urine stream, difficulty starting urination, and even small quantities of blood in the urine.
Men should be aware that, though benign prostatic enlargement is more prevalent than prostate cancer, the two can coexist. This isn’t always the case, and many men who have an enlarged prostate never acquire cancer. However, you should keep an eye out for both because the symptoms are similar.
