About the Book

The prostate gland lies just beneath the bladder. Many men, as they get older, experience prostate symptoms such as a poor urine stream or having to urinate frequently. This book explains diseases of the prostate, how they cause problems and what can be done about them.
Medical understanding of prostate disorders has advanced enormously, and the options for treatment – from surgery to drugs – have improved dramatically, greatly improving the quality of life of sufferers.
