Enlarged Prostate It is an organ that goes through two growth periods – during puberty and reaches its adult size by roughly age 20. It Then it remains stable for some time and around the age of 45 resumes its growth process. It often keeps on growing and by old age nearly 80% of males have an enlarged prostate. That is why it is a common issue for older males. The prostate gland assists in production of semen and surrounds the urethra, and when enlarged the bladder becomes irritated from the pressure which causes problems with urine flow and frequency. While urinating function may be impaired due to this condition, sexual function often remains unaffected.
