The prostate is an exocrine gland of the reproductive system. Concerns for men regarding the prostate range from very mild to very serious. The most common types of prostate symptoms are:

Prostatitis

Prostatitis is enlargement of the prostate gland. Most cases are of indeterminate cause, and require no treatment. Possible symptoms include:

• Painful urination and burning sensations
• Discomfort during ejaculation
• Urgent, or frequent need to urinate
• Difficulty in urinating
• Discomfort during ejaculation

If you have any of these symptoms, get your prostate symptoms score now by taking a Free Prostate Symptoms Self-Assessment. Some cases of prostatitis are caused by bacterial infections, and require antibiotic treatment. If you suspect you may have prostatitis you should see your physician immediately for a proper diagnosis of its cause, and a proper treatment strategy.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Benign prostatic hyperplasia also refers to an enlargement of the prostate. Unlike prostatitis, the condition is caused by the formation of nodules in the periurethral area within the prostate. As these nodules begin to compress the urethra, sufferers experience difficulties urinating. Improper storage and voiding of urine can, potentially, cause urinary tract infections. In severe cases characterized by urinary retention, complications can lead to serious medical complications, including renal (kidney) failure. Diagnosis includes an ultrasound exam to rule out malignancies. Treatment may be comprised of alpha-blockers, minimally invasive surgery, or in some countries, herbal remedies.

Prostate Cancer

Certainly the most feared of all prostate health issues is prostate cancer. According to recent research, as many as 80% of all men who live to the age of 80 will be diagnosed with it at some point. On the bright side, when caught early, prostate cancer is usually very responsive to treatment. Thus, regular screenings and early detection are keys to survival. Signs and symptoms often mimic those of prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia, making it essential that one seek the immediate care of a physician should they be noticed.

Additionally, most cases of prostate cancer are detected during routine rectal exams, making exams a “must” for all men over the age of forty. Properly caring for the health of your prostate is essential for men. Not only does it prevent discomfort, and support a healthy reproductive life- it can save your very life itself.
