Prostatic diseases are commonly found in men with aging. These diseases affect the prostate gland, which is a walnut-shaped organ surrounding the urethra. The prostate gland helps in the production of semen, the fluid that helps in the movement of sperm. They are normally the size of a walnut; however, with aging, they seem to grow leading to prostatic diseases.

Prostatic diseases

Prostatic diseases are uncommon in younger men and are usually found in those beyond the age of 50 years. In fact, certain sources report that about 80% of men around the age of 70 years have a high probability of contracting some form of prostate disease.
Some of the common types of prostatic diseases include BPH or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, prostate cancer, and prostatitis. Among these BPH is the most commonly found prostate disorder.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

A common prostate disease, BPH is often characterized by an enlargement of the prostate glands. It is benign or noncancerous. The manifestations of the disorder include difficulty in urination, frequent need for urination at night, poor or breakage in the urine stream and so on.
The condition is usually treated with the help of medication and regular follow up to monitor the growth of the gland. In cases where the condition is not contained by medication, TURP (Trans Urethral Resection of the prostate), endoscopic surgery is carried out.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer can be cured if detected early. However, they are not easily detected for lack of symptoms in the early stages. They are one of the most common forms of cancer among older men.

Prostatitis

Prostatitis is another prostatic disease affecting men today. They are not as common as BPH or prostate cancer and are found in about 8% of men worldwide.
