Dr Amit Kumar Agarwal was present at a press conference to address the press about prostate disease and spread awareness about the disease.

Prostatic diseases are extremely common among aging men can may cause great troubles for them. Sedentary lifestyle along with age are the leading problems of prostatic diseases in men in recent times. The life quality of men may be hampered due to the prostate enlargement which can cause lower urinary tract symptoms.

Dr Agarwal highlighted on the fact that the size of the prostate does not indicate the severity of the symptoms. Some men with enlarged prostates may have important symptoms while others with enlarged prostates can have major urinary symptoms. And if this left untreated, the urinary problems might lead to obstruction of the urinary tract and affect prostate health.

Dr Agarwal said that it is very essential to address the issue and not shy away from it. The doctor whom you are consulting will be able to guide you in the best way possible and also sort the disease. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms are like those produced by lethal diseases like prostate cancer.

Detecting the problem in the initial stages helps one to treat it using medicines. Surgical removal of prostatic tissue is the last step is symptoms cannot be controlled with the help of medicines.

Awareness is necessary to detect the disease in the initial stages and get it treated properly.
