• QWhat is an enlarged prostate (BPH)?
  The prostate cells increase in number rather than in size. The enlarged prostate presses on the urethra, causing voiding symptoms (such as incomplete emptying and a weak stream) and storage symptoms (such as frequent urination and waking at night to urinate).
• QHow is an enlarged prostate treated?
  Treatment options include medication and surgery. Medication relaxes the muscles of the prostate and bladder to help ease urinary symptoms, and surgery uses an endoscope to keep the urinary passage open.
• QWhat is overactive bladder, and how is it treated?
  There is no inflammation, but you urinate often and may feel a sudden urge that is hard to hold. Treatment combines behavioral therapy to change urination habits with medication, and continues consistently for 3–6 months.
• QHow is cystitis managed?
  Drinking plenty of fluids to increase urine output is important, as is finishing all prescribed medication rather than stopping on your own once symptoms improve.
• QHow is low testosterone treated?
  Treatment replaces the male hormone the body is lacking, with an intramuscular injection every 2–3 weeks or every 3 months, depending on the type of injection. In patients with conditions such as prostate cancer or cardiovascular disease, it can cause serious unwanted reactions, so treatment must always begin after a consultation.
• QWhat does the premarital checkup include?
  The checkup covers STI and fertility tests, urinary tract tests, a prostate check, basic blood tests and male sexual function tests.
• QWho can get the HPV vaccine, often called the cervical cancer vaccine?
  Women aged 9 to 45 can receive this HPV vaccine, and men can also get it.
• QWhat is PRP injection therapy?
  In PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, the patient’s own blood is separated in a centrifuge, and the platelet plasma it yields is injected across the whole scalp.
