The importance of maintaining prostate health

1 in 2 men over the age of 50 will have some form of prostate or urinary problem¹.

This incidence rises to 80% at 80 years of age.

In many of these cases the prostate enlarges, putting pressure on the bladder and the urethra resulting in the urge to urinate more frequently, especially at night.

Many men are unwilling to discuss this aspect of their health with their family or their doctor, and therefore many of these cases go undetected, continuing to cause men discomfort and embarrassment.
