Prostate disorders are among the most common health complaints in men over 50. The prostate is a gland located in the male reproductive system just below the bladder and surrounding the urethra. As a man ages, a gradual enlargement of the prostate can occur, causing a variety of disorders, such as prostatitis, or inflammation of the gland and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Prostate cancer is also a concern for older men and is the most common cancer among men in the United States, where more than 186,000 men will be diagnosed with the disease this year.
