What These Symptoms Can Indicate:
Your doctor can determine if you have a prostate abnormality based on your exhibited symptoms. There are several common prostate conditions and they can require different approaches to diagnosis and treatment:
Acute or Chronic Prostatitis
These conditions are caused by bacterial infections in the prostate. Acute or chronic infections are the most common prostate problem for men under the age of 50. Acute infections have rapid onsets with painful urination whereas chronic infections can be more subtle but also more difficult to treat.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
This condition, also known as an enlarged prostate, is the most common prostate issue for men over the age of 50. BPH can cause the prostate to block the flow of urine through the urethra, making urination hesitating or frequent.
Prostate Cancer
Cancer of the prostate often presents with no early symptoms and it is one of the most common forms of cancer in American men. However, early intervention leads to high treatment rates.
