WHAT EVERY MAN NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT HIS PROSTATE

A normal prostate should be the size of a walnut but as most men age, their prostate begin to enlarge and this enlargement compresses and affects the normal functioning of surrounding organs of the prostate gland, like the bladder and urethra.

Although, this enlargement is not cancerous, it can be very painful and that is why it is referred to as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH for short.

Usually, by the time a man reaches 40, the prostate may have grown to the size of an apricot and at 60, to the size of a lemon. Usually, you may not notice this enlargement until you are 50 and it can only be removed through surgery but you can manage it to ensure that it doesn't grow beyond the level it is now.

BPH is common and cannot be prevented but it can be managed with good supplement. Age and a family history of BPH are two things that increase the chances you might get it. A few stats on that:

Some 8 out of every 10 men eventually develop an enlarged prostate.
About 90% of men over the age of 85 will have BPH.
About 30% of men will find their symptoms bothersome.
