PROSTATE SUPPORT
What can go wrong ?
Like any other part of the human body things can sometimes go wrong with the male reproductive system. When they do , it's important to see a doctor quickly.
InfertilityOften men are shocked to be told that problems in having a baby are because of them, but, in fact about one in twenty men in Australia is infertile.

Prostate Enlargement Most common in older men, about 1 in 7 Australian men over 40 years of age will suffer from problems with their prostate. The most common prostate disease is a non cancerous enlargement of the prostate called Benign Prostate Hyperplasia.

Erectile dysfunction |

About 18500 Australian men every year are told they have Prostate Cancer. Prostate Cancer often happens with no symptoms, so men should think about talking to a doctor about testing by Digital Rectal Examination and Prostate Specific Antigen test.
Testosterone deficiencyLower energy levels and mood swings, bad temper, poor concentration, reduced muscle strength or lack of interest in sex may be a sign of low testosterone levels. One in 200 men in Australia suffer from low testosterone levels.

Sexual problems in men are more common than you might think. About one in 5 Australian men over the age of 40 have problems getting or keeping an erection. In some cases it is a sign of another serious disease such as diabetes or heart problems.
Testicular cancerTesticular cancer is the second most common cancer in men aged 18 to 39, but it's easy to treat and when found early more than 95 per cent of men are cured.
