The most common three prostate health complications men encounter are the following:
- Prostatitis: This is an infection (usually bacterial) which can be treated with an antibiotic.
- Enlarged prostate gland: This is mostly an inconvenience, causing you to have to urinate frequently or experience problems with dribbling after urination.
- Prostate cancer: This is when a malignant tumor forms in the prostate gland, which can spread throughout the body and cause significant health problems, including death.
