Men's health

For many middle-aged men it's normal to experience changes in erectile function - called "impotence," is the repeated inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It is also common for the prostate gland to become enlarged as a man ages. This common condition is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) .

A healthy prostate is about the size of a walnut. If the prostate grows too large, the flow of urine can be slowed or stopped.

All men at that age are at risk for prostate cancer - a malignant tumor that begins growing in the prostate gland. More than 70 percent of men diagnosed with prostate cancer each year are over the age of 65. A male hormone called testosterone can stimulate the growth of hormone-dependent prostate cancer cells. Some men have areas on the scalp that are very sensitive to the male sex hormones. Hormonal problems also may cause hair loss.
