The prostate is a gland located below the bladder, which produces seminal fluid. It can be affected by different diseases, such as benign hypertrophy, inflammation or cancer. These diseases can have consequences on sexual performance, such as erectile dysfunction, ejaculation or libido.
To prevent prostate disease, it is recommended to consult your doctor regularly, especially after the age of 50, and to do screening tests, such as digital rectal examination or PSA (prostate-specific antigen) assay. It is also important to adopt a balanced diet, rich in fruits and vegetables, and to limit the consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Finally, it is advisable to practice regular physical activity and maintain an active sex life.
