• The prostate gland is a male reproductive organ that produces fluids to feed and protect sperm cells.
• Many men experience urinary changes as they age. In many cases, these changes do not need specific treatment.
• When urinary changes cause problems, they can be treated successfully by lifestyle changes, medication, surgery or a combination of the three.
• For problems such as blood in the urine, pain on urination, inability to urinate or uncontrollable urine flow, you should see the Urologist promptly
