A member asked:

What are the causes of the protate inflamation (for a 60 years old man)?

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Prostate health: Age. With age comes a tendency for the prostate glad to not only grow but to fill with excess fluids. It is a scientific fact that those men who remain active sexually and who ejaculate regularly have less problem with this.
