Prostate health is a major concern for men over 40. Conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer can develop silently, making early detection vital.
What Is the Prostate?
The prostate is a small gland that produces seminal fluid. Problems arise when it enlarges (BPH) or develops malignant growths (prostate cancer).
