Why does the prostate enlarge in old males?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal growth: Testosterone causes the prostate to keep growing. Men don't appreciate this since it makes urination more difficult. Unfortunately, this falls under the category of why do we get wrinkles and why do our nose and ears keep getting bigger. It is a product of aging.
