There To reach
the age of fifty is a milestone, but unfortunately this is also the
age when men start developing prostrate problems. Four in every five
men are known to suffer from prostrate disorders. It is a gland
present in all males with the shape and size of a chestnut. This
gland is situated at the base of the urinary bladder encircling the
urethra. It is believed that 80% men over 60 suffer from some sort
of prostrate disorder.
There are various types of prostrate problems or disorders such as
hypertrophy or enlargement of prostrate gland also known as Benign
Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), and prostatitis or inflammation in the
prostate gland. This condition is painless but causes trouble at the
start of urination. This is because prostrate surrounds the urethra
(the tube that carries urine from the bladder) and when this
enlarges urine flow is restricted resulting in frequent need for
urination.
It also leads to
dribbling as the prostrate is not as strong as before. You can also
experience dull aching pain in the lower back and pain in the hips,
legs and feet.
