A small endocrine gland in the male reproductive system, the prostate is responsible for secreting the seminal fluid that makes up about 30 percent of semen. Natural aging causes the prostate to grow larger, which in itself can cause problems with urination and sexual function, but cancer can prove deadly if not addressed.
Prostate cancer is called the “silent killer” because it generally has few noticeable symptoms until it’s advanced. It’s important for men to have regular check-ups that include blood tests and rectal exams that can uncover problems with the prostate.
If the tests come back positive, you can make an appointment with one of the specialists at the Hartford HealthCare Cancer Institute/Tallwood Urology & Kidney Institute. The answer might be simpler than you imagine as the team works to make you feel comfortable and get you back to doing the things love.
