A member asked:

Can a 19 year old have prostate problems or cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Highly unlikely: This is highly unlikely. Typically prostate problems present after age 50 or so. However it is never impossible for any single individual to have the misfortune of having prostate problems at a younger age.
