Understanding Prostate Health
The prostate gland is a small, walnut-shaped organ that plays a vital role in male reproductive health. As men age, the prostate can develop problems like benign enlargement (BPH), inflammation (prostatitis), or cancer. At Docto.pk, we provide comprehensive prostate care to keep you healthy.
Common Prostate Conditions
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Non-cancerous enlargement that causes urinary symptoms.
- Prostatitis: Inflammation from infection or other causes, leading to pain and urinary issues.
- Prostate Cancer: The most common cancer in men; early detection improves outcomes.
Diagnostic Approach
Our urologists use:
