Dr. Jesse Mills answered

Specializes in Urology

Hormones and genes: Prostates enlarge in some men as they age in response to a hormone dht. Big prostates run in families. Big prostates don't always need medical care. Look for problems with urinary frequency, stop start flow and getting up at night to pee. There are lots of treatment options available.
