Prostate Disorders

Prostate disorder is a common ailment that can affect men of all ages. Prostate is a gland that is similar, in shape and size, to a chestnut. Situated at the base of the urinary bladder, encircling the urethra, this gland might swell, at times, blocking urine output. This leads to prostate disorder, which in turn causes pain, urination problems and sexual problems. The pain might extend to the lower back and in the hips, legs and feet as well. Prostrate disorder also increases the risk of infection and cancer. One of the main symptoms of prostrate disorder is that though a person feels like urinating, nothing actually happens.
