Prostate cancer<\/a> affects nearly a quarter of a million American men each year. The extent of cancer depends on whether the patient seeks early diagnosis and treatment or if they leave the problem in the hope that it will go away, failing to receive early diagnosis and treatment for the disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSome men may experience a condition known as BHP (benign prostatic hyperplasia). With this disorder, the prostate keeps growing in men after the age of 30, when it would normally stop its growth phase. As a result, the patient experiences pressure against the urethra when peeing, resulting in problems with the normal urine flow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The urine may trap in the urethra where it returns to the bladder, causing a UTI. Men over the age of 40 should receive a rectal exam every few years to check on their prostate health, and the doctor should monitor their prostate health through a bloodwork test of their PSA levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
