Prostate Diseases

The term prostate diseases groups together different conditions that involve this gland of the male reproductive system, such as benign enlargement, inflammation, or changes that require evaluation.

Common symptoms:

• Difficulty or changes when urinating
• Increased frequency, especially at night
• Discomfort in the pelvic area or when urinating

When should you see a doctor? It is a good idea to seek an evaluation when persistent changes in urination or discomfort in the pelvic region appear, especially with advancing age.

Which specialist handles them? The urologist is the professional who evaluates prostate health and provides guidance on tests and follow-up. Keeping up with checkups with a specialist helps to detect and address any change in time.
