Dear Prison Health News,
Would you please send any and all information on an enlarged prostate? What is the end result if I have to have it removed?
– Sincerely, Mr. Tracy
Dear Mr. Tracy,
Prostate health is an important topic for anyone who has a penis. The prostate is a gland about the size of a walnut that sits below the bladder and in front the rectum. It wraps around the urethra, the tube that pee and semen come out of. When the prostate is big, it squeezes the urethra and makes it harder to pee. Its main purpose is to make some of the fluid that goes into semen. In this article, we will discuss benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer.
