When men grow old they experience hormonal changes that cause the prostate gland to grow. Prostate cells multiply as a result and pretty soon the prostate may grow so big that it affects urinary flow and function. If you're looking for natural options at this time, you might try beta sitosterol. There are scientific studies that support its use and you'll find them online.

∙ 13y agoThe exact term is "prostate" and not "prostates". That means there exists only one prostate gland.
Prostate gland is part of males reproductive system, which produces semen. Semen is a milky fluid needed to nourish and carry the sperm from testicles through penis during ejaculation. That's why men have a prostate.
Note: The person asking the question used proper grammar, when asking about "men", it is proper to say "prostates", because "men" is plural.
