If not treated properly, the bladder and urinary rest of the tree (ureters and kidneys) tend to widen with the ensuing problems.

Prevention
Moreover, the prostate tends to grow larger as the aging man: an enlarged experiencing more than twenty percent of men of about sixty years.
Yet it is not clear why it occurs but, given the inconvenience it brings and the possibility (not too often) that it is a malignant process, it is appropriate that all men older than fifty years undergo a precautionary examination annum.

It is important to identify and correct these problems early, and after that can cause severe urinary disorders. Its correct diagnosis requires a direct examination of the prostate (through the DRE) and studies of specific antibodies for this type of cancer (PSA).

Unfortunately, often tries to avoid this examination and consultation too late, by the fears and anxieties that awakens in men. So should urologist and patient pre-talk about the characteristics of this study to dispel any doubts.

And some of these genes, you say the studio published in the magazine Nature Genetics, they could also help to the development of new treatments.

"These results will allow us to carry out genetic" "profiles to analyze the risk that the men have of developing the illness" the discoverers they assure. The genetic profile requires to extract DNA of the patient and to analyze it to see if you have the genetic variations that it would put it in risk of prostate tumors.
