Prostate
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located between the bladder and the penis. The prostate is just in front of the rectum. The urethra runs through the center of the prostate, from the bladder to the penis, letting urine flow out of the body
The prostate secretes fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. During ejaculation, the prostate squeezes this fluid into the urethra, and it’s expelled with sperm as semen.
Symptoms that show I might have prostate problems
Prostate conditions often cause problems with urination or bladder control. These may include the following:
- Poor bladder control, including frequent bathroom visits
- Urinary urgency, sometimes with only a small amount of urine
- Difficulty starting the urine stream, or stopping and starting the stream while urinating
- A weak or thin urine stream
- Pain while urinating.
- Sudden feeling of urination.
- Drops at the end of urination.
- Decreased flow of urine.
- Frequent urination (at night)
- Bleeding while urinating
What might happen if I IGNORE the symptoms ?
- Prostatitis: Inflammation of the prostate, sometimes caused by infection. It is typically treated with antibiotics.
- Enlarged prostate: Called benign prostatic hypertrophy or BPH, prostate growth affects virtually all men over 50. Symptoms of difficult urination tend to increase with age. Medicines or surgery can treat BPH.
- Prostate cancer: It’s the most common form of cancer in men (besides skin cancer), but only one in 41 men die from prostate cancer. Surgery, radiation, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy can be used to treat prostate cancer. Some men choose to delay treatment, which is called watchful waiting.
