Dr. Christopher Love discusses common men's health issues -- and in this episode of Below The Belt, we focus on the prostate. The prostate is a gland that sits below the bladder and produces fluid that is part of semen fluid, which helps with fertility. As men age, the prostate gland gets bigger, which affects the way the bladder works, resulting in slower urine flow, a delay in getting started, increased frequency of urination, waking up at night to urinate, and an urgent need to urinate. These are common symptoms of bladder outflow obstruction caused by the enlargement of the prostate, known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Dr. Love highlights the other causes that may lead to these symptoms, and men should seek advice from their healthcare professional.
