EPISODE 19 - PROSTRATE ALERT




If every woman must go through menopause and hence especially some of these symptoms in varying degrees, at least 80% of men over 40 will notice that their prostrate is not as healthy as it is ought to be if they check it up unless they have been doing something about it from their young age.



The prostrate gland lies just under the bladder in the pelvis and surrounds the middle portion of the urethra. Usually, the size of a walnut, this gland enlarges with age, which means that, with age, it narrows the urethra. In time, this could obstruct the flow of the urine and as a result, the muscles of the bladder grow larger and stronger to push urine through.



Due to this somewhat rigidity, the bladder may not empty completely when the patient urinates, making him susceptible to stone formation. Prolonged obstruction can cause damage to the kidneys.



As I said sometime before, every man from the age of 40 and above should try and perform the Prostrate Specific Antigen (PSA) test which can detect any trace of cancer early. But in the mean time, all men should befriend pumpkin seeds and saw palmetto.
