What is the size of prostate in the healthy man?
you can find your answers in this site. http://tcmdiscovery.com/webtool/inwebresult.asp?keyword=prostate The condition of an enlarged prostate gland as a man ages is called benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). In BPH the prostate enlarges, the layer of tissue surrounding it stops it from expanding, causing the gland to press against the urethra. Symptoms commonly seen with BPH are: a hesitant, interrupted, weak stream urgency and leaking or dribbling more frequent urination, especially at night These conditions, if left untreated, could lead to more serious conditions such as prostate cancer, urine retention, urinary tract infections, bladder or kidney damage, bladder stones, and incontinence. BPH according to Chinese Medicine is categorized into diseases relating to urination. Historically there was no mention of an enlarged prostate. The Chinese had no way of knowing that a mans prostate was enlarged, but they were aware of the symptoms it caused. These symptoms of frequent nighttime urination, painful urination, and difficult urination were observed and thus categorized as disease categories which are used today to diagnose and treat BPH.

My boyfriend is 28 and is having a hard time keeping an erection is this normal?
That is a young age to have erectile disfunction - but it can happen. He should have his prostate gland examined by a doctor to see if it is enlarged. You might also want to have an honest discussion with him about what his sexual turn-ons are. One question that would be asked by a doctor is whether he has trouble getting an erection while masturbating, or only while having sex. Performance anxiety can occur at any age, so that may be playing a part as well.
Understanding Prostate Cancer Symptoms Could Save Your Life?
The prostate gland produces seminal fluid that the sperm travels in. This walnut-sized gland can cause a lot of problems for men when they are not aware of what the prostate cancer symptoms are. Understanding what to watch for could save your life. As prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers found in men, it is important that men over 50 have regular screenings. However, if this does run in your family, you may want to be screened earlier. If caught early on and the cancer stays confined to this gland, the prognosis is really good. The symptoms of prostate cancer are often not noticed until the cancer has spread, but if you know what to watch for, you may be able to catch it in its early stages. Some of the things to look for include: Trouble Urinating: Even just a small hesitancy in urination could be a sign of something wrong. When the prostate gland becomes swollen, it can make it more difficult to urinate. You should also watch for changes in the strength of the stream and whether or not you are struggling to push the urine out. Frequency of Urination: Another symptom of prostate cancer will include a change to how often you feel the urge to urinate. While this can also be a sign of a simple enlarged prostate, it is important that you talk to your doctor when you suddenly notice you are awake several times in the night because of the urge to urinate. Some may even notice that they are unable to hold their urine and have problems with incontinence. Erection and Ejaculation Issues: If cancer has taken hold of the prostate, it can easily spread and cause problems with the nerves. Symptoms of this could lead to problems in maintaining an erection or could even lead to painful ejaculation. Pain in the Anal Region: If the cancer has spread, it can also cause pain to be felt in the region of the anus. This pain may even be noticed in the pelvic area. Due to the fact that the symptoms of prostate cancer can be very subtle and very slow to appear, it is important that men of all ages take special care to look for them. Simply keeping track of your urination habits could save your life.

A common part af any phsical examination of the male is palpation of the prostate how is this done?
By inserting a lubricated, gloved finger gently through the anus into the rectum until the prostate is felt. The Doctor or other practitioner is checking the size, shape, position, firmness, and mobility of the prostate. This is a routine part of a annual physical for men over 50, and part of any urological or rectal exam. While there are many benign changes that can occur to the prostate, changes may indicate cancer or other serious problems that may lead to impotence. If there are any out of the ordinary findings from the exam, further tests will be performed, usually by an Urologist.
Is been one year since your prostate cancer surgery with no erection what can you do to get erection?
It can take up to one year after prostate surgery to know if you will be able to achieve an erection. Also, if the nerves that run along the sides of the prostate gland, which control erection, were damaged or cut, this could effect the ability to achieve an erection. See your doctor for a follow-up exam to see if the nerves were in fact cut or damaged, or if your recovery is still taking place and it may take a bit longer for normal sexual function to be restored. I would recommend also consulting with a doctor who specializes in prostate surgery and rehabilitation to regain sexual function. If you are having difficulty achieving an erection, a specialist may have tools and therapies available to help restore this function for you.
