The Prostate Epidemic

The prostate is a small, walnut sized gland that produces the fluid that sperm travel with during the moments when a male ejaculates. It is found at the exit of the bladder, wrapped around the urethra (tube carrying urine), and sits against the out sidewall of the rectum (anus).

Prostate problems have slowly risen to epidemic proportions across the world, but mainly in the United States of America and Europe.

It seems that men of any age can fall into the trap of prostate conditions although they mainly affect men over sixty years of age.

Epidemic

Benign prostatic hyperplasia

It is reported that half of the men aged between sixty and seventy years of age in the United States and almost ninety percent of those aged over seventy years have symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia

Prostate cancer

It is not known what causes cancer in the prostate but what is known is the fact that age, race, genetics, lifestyle and diet can play a huge part.

Prostate cancer is most common in men over 45 years of age who are of American or European decent, and those least likely to suffer from prostate cancer are from south and eastern Asia.

In one year alone nearly a quarter of a million new cases of prostate cancer are found and around thirty thousand men die of prostate cancer, and this is just in the United State.

Even if death is not caused through prostate cancer, the cancer can still cause impotence so the man does suffer the death of his sexual prowess.

Prostatitis

Prostatitis is not as picky as the other two conditions and any man of any age can be affected by its symptoms and condition.

Symptoms

The main symptoms that many men who have had prostate problems say they felt are

-- Excessive pain while trying to go toilet to urinate

-- Passing small amounts of blood in their urine

-- Finding it difficult to actually pass urine out of the body

-- Going toilet more frequently, usually during the night

-- Having problems keeping an erection, if an erection can be gained at all

Men of the world

It seems that the prostate and the conditions it has can cause many awful affects on the human body, and some can result in death yet many men do not put any emphasis on trying to gain knowledge about a part of their body they hold dear.

It is important that men of all ages take a moment out of their lives to take stock of the conditions out there, and make sure they try to learn about what could happen to them if they do not look after their body, and watch out for the signs the body tells us when there is something wrong.

Remember men, this is not one of those, "well it will not happen to me" scenarios, you have read the statistics and have devoured the facts, think wisely before deciding you do not need to visit the doctor over a simple pain in the lower abdominal region.
