PERSONALABS™ Sympton Checker

Enlarged Prostate Symptoms

PERSONALABS™ offers blood and urine testing to help evaluate prostate health. A man's prostate gland usually starts to enlarge after he reaches 40 years of age. The prostate gland secretes a fluid that helps to nourish sperm. The gland itself surrounds the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out through the tip of the penis. As the prostate grows larger, it may press on the urethra. This narrowing of the urethra can cause some men with prostate enlargement to have trouble with urination.
