Dear Health Alerts Reader:

Did you know...

  • An enlarged prostate, known medically as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, develops in at least 25% of men by age 55, and up to 50% of men by age 75?
  • You can have prostate cancer AND also suffer from BPH at the same time?
  • It takes a doctor's examination and the appropriate tests to diagnose BPH and definitely rule out prostate cancer?
  • BPH causes a number of troublesome, even painful symptoms which, if left untreated, can result in serious, irreparable damage to your bladder and kidneys?

The good news is that BPH is treatable. Even if you have a family history of prostate trouble, you can ACT NOW to treat BPH before it causes any serious health complications.

    But don't let that statistic scare you. The reality is that fewer men are dying from prostate cancer than ever before, thanks to better education about prostate health and PSA testing for early detection of prostate cancer.

    If you're concerned about prostate cancer as well as your enlarged prostate, you'll find THE JOHN HOPKINS WHITE PAPER 2010: PROSTATE DISORDERS an invaluable resource for understanding and evaluating your treatment options.
