5 Important Facts About Prostate Enlargement:

1. The prostate is a gland surrounding the urethra (where urine exits) and produces some of the fluid that includes sperm during ejaculation, according to the National Library of Medicine.
2. Prostate enlargement is common as men age, and most men reach a certain age will experience it.
3. The exact cause is unknown, but changes in testicular cells that occur with age may play a role. This condition is also known as “benign prostatic hyperplasia” and does not increase the risk of prostate cancer.

2. Other options include cutting the lower part of the abdomen to remove the prostate (prostatectomy) or using heat or laser to destroy prostate tissue.
