Prostate symptoms and hormone concerns
An enlarged prostate can interfere with urination. The size of the prostate does not reliably predict how troublesome symptoms will be. Urinary symptoms, sexual symptoms and suspected hormone problems need an assessment rather than a generic testosterone-boosting promise.
When to seek help
Acute inability to urinate, especially with abdominal pain, requires urgent medical attention. Persistent urinary or erectile symptoms should be discussed with a healthcare professional to identify the cause.
