MEN’S HEALTH ALERT:YOUR PROSTATE MATTERS – A HEALTHY PROSTATE, A HEALTHY LIFE

Prostate health is one of the most overlooked aspects of men’s wellness.
Here is your complete guide to protecting, preventing & early detecting prostate-related problems.

🔹 What is the Prostate?

The prostate is a small, walnut-sized gland located below the bladder in men.

Its main functions:
✔️ Produces seminal fluid
✔️ Nourishes & transports sperm
✔️ Supports urinary control

🔹 How Does It Function?

The prostate releases fluid that combines with sperm to form semen.
Because it surrounds the urethra, any enlargement affects urine flow — causing common urinary symptoms in aging men.

🔹 At What Age Does It Get Affected?

Prostate enlargement (BPH) usually begins after age 40

Risk increases sharply after 50

Most men above 60 show some degree of enlargement

Prostate cancer risk also rises after 50

🔹 Common Symptoms of Prostate Problems

Watch out for these signs:

Frequent urination (especially at night)

Difficulty starting or stopping urine

Weak or interrupted flow

Burning or pain while urinating

🔹 First Line of Diagnosis & Treatment

Early diagnosis includes:

DRE – Digital Rectal Exam

Ultrasound

Treatment depends on severity and may include:
✔️ Lifestyle modifications
✔️ Medication (to shrink or relax the prostate)
✔️ Minimally invasive procedures
✔️ Surgery for complex or advanced cases
