Prostate Infection, Health, Disease and Problems of Prostate

Lying near the base of the bladder, Prostate envelops the first part of the urethra, the tube through which urine passes as the bladder empties.

The prostate gland has a number of functions, including moisturising part of the lining of the urethra, and providing some of the secretions that go to make up semen.

Enlarged Prostate

BPH is the abbreviated term for an enlarged prostate. The medical term is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. Whatever the expression used, it is a condition that affects most men as they get older and usually a man of age fifty will experience one or more the enlarged prostate symptoms that are listed below. Those symptoms are characteristic of the three major prostate diseases which include Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, prostatitis, and prostate cancer.

New findings about how prostate cancer cells are able to resist hormone treatment and defy death may lead to more effective drug treatments, according to researchers from Wake Forest University School of Medicine and colleagues.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer now afflicts over 27,000 men every year in the UK and almost 10,000 of them will eventually die from this disease. Worldwide, prostate cancer is now the most common cancer in men and over 100,000 men die from it each year. In spite of these alarming statistics, only a minority of men are aware of the risk that prostate cancer poses to their health and fewer still are proactive in taking steps to identify it as a stage when the disease is curable.
