Prostate Concern
Many people are not aware that men, as well as women, experience hormonal changes as they get older, and it is common that reproductive organs like the prostate can be affected by this. Furthermore, studies show that a staggering half of all men will suffer from some kind of prostate disease at some point in their lives, often with urinary problems being a sign. And yet, most men don’t know much about the prostate; what it does, how it works or signs and symptoms of prostate disease.
Many people associate prostate complications with prostate cancer, however there are 3 prostate conditions that can affect men’s health:
- Benign Prostate Hypertrophy—non cancerous overgrowth of the prostate. Over 50% of men in their 60s and 90% over 70 suffer from Benign Prostrate Hypertrophy
- Prostatitis: inflammation of the prostate. This disease can affect men of all ages and affects 35% of men over 50.
- Prostate Cancer - A male only cancer. Affects approximately one in three men at some point in their lives. If you are worried that you may have prostate cancer, you should consult with your doctor immediately.

Prostate and Age
Many men above the age of 50, undergo hormonal changes due to aging in the body. This results in more frequent urination. This unpleasant phenomenon is caused by a benign enlargement (hypertrophy) of the prostate gland (BPH). The prostate gland grows in volume and so presses against the urine bladder. This creates a sensation of having to go to the bathroom. The growth also leads to a pushing inwards of the urine tube, which passes through the prostate, so creating a situation in which urinating gives trouble. The increased frequency in urge for urination can become unpleasant especially when driving long distances, during long meetings and at night when the sleep of both man, and partner, are disturbed.
