How to recognize a prostate problem?

If you detect these symptoms, consult a doctor as soon as possible!
I frequently have urinary problems, how do I deal with them?

- The first thing to do to combat urinary disorders is to adopt a healthy lifestyle: quitting smoking and doing physical exercise can help you regain your urinary comfort!
- Also remember to favor anti-inflammatory foods such as turmeric and fruits, vegetables rich in antioxidants or even pumpkin seeds.
I'm tired and stressed… Can this explain my erectile dysfunction?
A study was carried out on a panel of men experiencing erectile dysfunction. A third of them say they are regularly stressed! The explanation is simple: the adrenaline caused by stress narrows the blood vessels. The penis then encounters difficulties in filling with blood since the vessels are not well dilated and the erection is disturbed!
Also, remember that an erection is both mental and physical effort! Both stress and fatigue affect your concentration and your physical strength: in these conditions, you don't have the fuel necessary to make this effort!
From what age should I have my prostate checked?
Adenoma and cancer of the prostate are diseases which generally appear from the age of 50. If you have a family history, it is best to do this examination ten years earlier or when the symptoms mentioned above appear.
If you have any doubts or are in your 50s, see your doctor who will send you to a urologist for a digital rectal examination.

From what age can one have erectile dysfunction?
Erectile disorders generally appear with age - from the age of 50 - fatigue and the possible onset of cardiovascular problems: these are so-called secondary erectile disorders. Primary erectile dysfunction can affect men from an early age since they are of psychological origin.
These primary and secondary disorders affect more than one in ten men during their lifetime

- Talk to your doctor! If the disorders persist, only a specialist can help you to make them disappear and, possibly, diagnose an underlying problem
