It can lead to unnecessary problems later in life including surgery. This small gland, located just below the bladder, impacts both your urinary and sexual functions. Every man has a very effective early warning system; problems during urination or ejaculation may indicate an enlarged prostate (BPH, benign prostate hyperplasia). Typically, problems with the prostate involve BPH. Men starting at age 40 continue to produce and accumulate high levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the prostate. This accumulation of DHT may encourage the growth of cells. In time, this growth in the prostate gland can become problematic by causing pressure against the urethra, resulting in many BPH symptoms. DHT is both a inhibitory and activating hormone, like a switch. For example, it turns some hair follicles on, causing hair growth, like the hair on our faces, while it turns others off, like the hair on our scalps.
