Description

Prostate problems are among the most common reasons men see their doctors. That’s because with age most men experience some type of prostate problem — enlargement, inflammation or cancer. Mayo Clinic on Prostate Health, 3rd Edition is an easy-to-read yet comprehensive guide to preventing, understanding, treating and living with prostate disease. Advances in research, an explosion in sophisticated imaging technology and new medical procedures have allowed for earlier diagnosis of prostate disease and more personalized treatment.

Prostate disease, including prostate cancer, often can be easily treated and even prevented. Mayo Clinic on Prostate Health, 3rd Edition, is an essential resource for every man. It explains how to maintain better prostate health, and how to evaluate treatment options when disease occurs. Prostate concerns often start out with changes in patterns of urination, difficulty with sexual function, or worry over hormone levels. Fortunately, the outlook for management, cure and survival of prostate disease is better now than ever before.
