The prostate gland plays a crucial role in male reproductive health by producing seminal fluid. Prostate-related conditions are a major focus in andrology.
Common conditions include benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, and prostate cancer. BPH is characterized by the enlargement of the prostate, leading to urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, weak stream, and incomplete bladder emptying.
Prostatitis involves inflammation of the prostate and can cause pain, urinary difficulties, and sexual dysfunction. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men and requires early detection for effective treatment.
Screening methods include prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing and digital rectal examination (DRE).
Treatment varies depending on the condition and may erotic include medication, lifestyle changes, or surgery.
