Prostate Perform

The prostate; it’s a problem for the majority of men as they age. It can lead to unnecessary problems later in life including surgery. This small gland, located just below the bladder, impacts both your urinary and sexual functions. Every man has a very effective early warning system; problems during urination or ejaculation may indicate an enlarged prostate (benign prostate hyperplasia [BPH]). Typically, problems with the prostate involve BPH. Men starting at age 40 produce and accumulate high levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the prostate. This accumulation of DHT may encourage the growth of cells. In time, this growth in the prostate gland can become problematic, by causing pressure against the urethra, resulting in many BPH symptoms.
