What are the main signs of prostate disease?
The close location of the prostate around the urethra means that any enlargement of the gland may block the urethra and interfere with the flow of urine and changes in urination pattern. The first sign that there may be prostate problems may be when: • A man has difficulty in passing urine; • A man experiences the urge to pass urine more frequently. Some men may experience pain at the base of the scrotum and penis (referred to as perineal pain).
