Dear Health Alerts Reader,

hyperplasia, or BPH, develops in at least 25% of men by age 55, and up
to 50% of men by age 75?

* You can have prostate cancer AND also suffer from BPH at the same
time?

* It takes a doctor's examination and the appropriate tests to
diagnose BPH and definitely rule out prostate cancer?

* BPH causes a number of troublesome, even painful symptoms which, if
left untreated, can result in serious, irreparable damage to your
bladder and kidneys?

The good news is that BPH is treatable. Even if you have a family
history of prostate trouble, you can ACT NOW to treat BPH before it

Why worry about my prostate health now?

Experts believe that every man--you, your father, brother, uncle, best
friend--will develop prostate cancer if you live long enough. Autopsy
studies have shown microscopic evidence of prostate cancer in 15-30%
of men over the age of 50 and in 60-70% of men who reach age 80.

But don't let that statistic scare you. The reality is that fewer men
are dying from prostate cancer than ever before, thanks to better
education about prostate health and PSA testing for early detection of
prostate cancer.

If you're concerned about prostate cancer as well as your enlarged
prostate, you'll find The 2010 Johns Hopkins Prostate Disorders White
Paper an invaluable resource for understanding and evaluating your
treatment options.

You'll discover detailed descriptions of the three most common
treatments for prostate cancer: radical prostatectomy, external beam
radiation therapy, and brachytherapy. You'll understand what they are,
how they are performed, and the advantages and disadvantages of each.

You'll learn the three most common side effects of prostate cancer
treatment.
