To reach the age of fifty is a milestone, but unfortunately this is also the age when men start developing prostrate problems. Four in every five men are known to suffer from prostrate disorders. It is a gland present in all males with the shape and size of a chestnut. This gland is situated at the base of the urinary bladder encircling the urethra. It is believed that 80% men over 60 suffer from some sort of prostrate disorder.

There are various types of prostrate problems or disorders such as hypertrophy or enlargement of prostrate gland also known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), and prostatitis or inflammation in the prostate gland. This condition is painless but causes trouble at the start of urination. This is because prostrate surrounds the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder) and when this enlarges urine flow is restricted resulting in frequent need for urination. It also leads to dribbling as the prostrate is not as strong as before. You can also experience dull aching pain in the lower back and pain in the hips, legs and feet.
