The prostate is a walnut-sized gland unique to men, with commonly dismissed or misdiagnosed issues. Common prostate issues include inflammation and enlargement. Our center has more than 16 years of experience in helping men deal with various forms of prostate issues.
Some possible symptoms of Prostate Inflammation (Prostatitis) include:
- Discomfort in the perineum
- Pain at the tip of the penis
- Urinary frequency
Some possible symptoms of Prostate Enlargement (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia – BPH) include:
- Needing to go to the toilet more often especially at night
- Poor or slow urinary stream
- Needing to wait for a significant amount of time before the urine starts flowing
Specific treatments for Prostatitis include:
- Antibiotics
- Anti-inflammatories

The treatment for Prostate Enlargement (BPH) nowadays consists mainly of taking medications. For severe and complex cases, surgery may be necessary but this occurs only in the minority of cases.
