Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate)
The prostate is a gland that produces the fluid that carries sperm during ejaculation. This gland surrounds the urethra which is the tube that carries urine out of the body. When the prostate grows bigger and becomes enlarged, it causes pressure on the urethra which then can cause urination and bladder problems
The cause of an enlarged prostate is unknown, though the likelihood of an enlarged prostate increases with age, usually around 50 years old. Symptoms include difficulty urinating, a weak stream, incomplete emptying of the bladder, frequent/ urgent urinating and/or lower abdominal pain. Without treatment this can result in bladder infections, bladder stones and/or kidney dysfunction.

This page doesn't have the information I would like on it, as AHPRA deemed my information on Chinese medicine and Prostate issues and erectile dysfunction as going against advertising standards, therefore I apologise for the lack of content and look forward to finding some information for you at a later time.
