Prostrate health at Reid Health
Your prostate plays an important role in men’s urinary and reproductive health. Over time, prostate issues can arise including enlargement, infection, or cancer. These conditions could affect your comfort, confidence, or ability to urinate normally.
At Reid Health, our urology team provides expert diagnosis, treatment, and preventive care for all prostate concerns, helping men maintain long-term health and well-being.
Common prostate conditions
Many men experience prostate-related conditions as they age. The most common include:
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): Noncancerous enlargement of the prostate that can cause frequent or difficult urination.
- Prostatitis: Inflammation or infection of the prostate, often causing pain or burning during urination.
- Prostate cancer: A common cancer in men that’s highly treatable when found early.
- Elevated PSA levels: Could indicate inflammation, infection, or potential cancer that needs further testing.
If you’re having urinary problems, pelvic discomfort, or changes in sexual function, schedule an appointment with a Reid Health urologist to discuss your symptoms.
Symptoms of prostrate problems
Prostate issues can develop slowly. Watch for signs such as:
- Difficulty starting or stopping urination
- Weak or interrupted urine stream
- Frequent nighttime urination
- Pain or burning when urinating
- Blood in urine or semen
- Lower back, pelvic, or groin pain
Early evaluation helps your doctor rule out serious causes and develop an effective treatment plan.
Treatment options for prostate conditions
Our urology specialists offer both non-surgical and surgical treatments depending on your diagnosis. Care options could include:
- Medications to relax prostate muscles or reduce size
- Antibiotics for infections
- Minimally invasive procedures such as UroLift® for BPH
- Lifestyle changes to support urinary and sexual function
Our care team will explain your options clearly and work with you to create a personalized plan that fits your health goals.

Prostate screenings are an important part of men’s health care
Prostate screenings can detect prostate cancer earlier, when it’s easiest to treat. Screenings can also identify other prostate concerns, such as enlargement or inflammation, that could affect urinary or sexual health.
If you’re age 50 or older, — or have a family history of prostate cancer, — talk to your doctor about when to begin screening.
