PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGEN

The prostate gland is a key component in sexual activity. The semen secretions necessary for reproduction and pleasure come from the prostate gland. Any malfunction of this gland can cause sexual and erectile dysfunction. There are a few prostatic diseases that you should be aware of which could affect your sexual performance and the potency of your seed while attempting to conceive children.

The most common prostate condition is Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is an enlargement of the prostate gland that pinches the urethra. This condition can cause frequent urination at night, premature ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction. Erections are brought about by a flush of blood into the penis which can be restricted by BPH. Without this blood flow, maintaining an erection will be difficult during intercourse, provided that you’re even able to get one in the first place.

Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland due to bladder infection or reflux of urine into the prostatic ducts. It can normally be treated with antibiotics but will cause pain and irritation while urinating or during sexual activity. There are two types, acute and chronic, and symptoms also include lower back pain and a frequent need to urinate. Though not as extreme as BPH or prostate cancer, Prostatitis can nevertheless cause severe discomfort and functional difficulties in middle aged and older male adults.

The scariest of prostate diseases for men is prostate cancer. It affects one in six men nationwide and the percentages are even higher for African American men.
