It seems that u don't have to live that long ie. 80 to experience prostate problems. My two brothers in law had their prostate removed, one is okay but also one had his bladder removed and I am also in my 60's with prostate problems. An aggressive form of cancer in the prostate can spread outside the the prostate in a matter of months.Regular checkups(ie. digital exams plus psa tests) are essential to prevent problems. The penis can rapidly change from a source of pleasure to a pain in a very short period of time. Just a heads up - uh pardon the pun!
