The prostate gland produces the liquid (prostatic fluid) that a man’s sperm is suspended in when he ejaculates. As men age quite often their prostate gland will swell pinching the urethra tube and causing urinary troubles. This swelling of the prostate in most men is called “Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia” and as the name implies is not cancerous.

In males the prostate goes through two stages of growth, the first when you reach puberty, at which time the prostate nearly doubles in size, and after the age of 25 or so when the prostate begins to grow again. This growth spurt causes BPH and is the cause of most men’s urinary woes.
