MEN'S HEALTH

Australian men visit doctors less often than women and tend to wait longer before having health problems treated. As a result, their quality of life is often lower than that of women as they age. The good news is, with regular health check-ups, most of the common health problems that affect men can be prevented or improved through simple lifestyle changes. Ask your pharmacist about ways to improve and maintain your health.

PROSTATE PROBLEMS

The prostate gland is found at the base of the bladder in men. It makes a fluid that lubricates sperm. The gland is about the size of a walnut and has a hole through the middle like a doughnut. The tube which empties urine, the urethra, passes through this hole on its way from the bladder to its opening at the end of the penis. As a man gets older the size of the prostate may get bigger. It can squeeze the urethra (like pinching a straw) and this can upset normal urine flow.
