Prostate problems are common, in men aged over 50. Best treated by best Urologist Dr Dilip Raja in Mumbai.
The prostate gland is about the size and shape of a walnut but tends to get bigger as you get older.

#prostate enlargement
#prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate)
#prostate cancer
Prostate Enlargement - is a very common condition associated with ageing. It's not known why the prostate gets bigger as you get older, but it is not caused by cancer and does not increase your risk of developing prostate cancer.
An enlarged prostate can put pressure on the urethra, which can affect how you urinate.
01. Difficulty starting or stopping urinating
02. a weak flow of urine
03. straining while passing urine
04. feeling like you're not able to fully empty your bladder
05. prolonged dribbling after you've finished peeing
06. needing to urinate more frequently or more suddenly
07. waking up frequently during the night to urinate
Prostatitis - is where the prostate gland becomes inflamed (swollen). Unlike prostate enlargement or prostate cancer – which usually affect older men – prostatitis can develop in men of all ages. However, it's generally more common in men aged over 50.
Prostate cancer - is the most common type of cancer in men. It's not clear why it occurs, but your chances of developing prostate cancer increase as you get older. Must visit best urologist andrologist for any of the above symptoms.
