  2. Weak or interrupted urine flow.
  3. Pain or discomfort in the pelvic area.
  4. Blood in urine or semen (rare but concerning).

What can I do?

  1. Stay active and maintain a healthy weight.
  2. Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
  3. Schedule regular prostate screenings, especially after age 50.

When to Consult Your Doctor

  • If you experience urinary problems or pelvic pain.
  • If you have a family history of prostate conditions.
  • If you want advice on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing.

Remember
