    · How doctors diagnose and treat an enlarged prostate, including new information on the two types of drugs currently used to significantly reduce symptoms
    · New guidance on managing incontinence and impotence, two common side effects of prostate treatment
    · Current medical options for treating advanced prostate cancer
    · New advances that mean better prostate cancer survival rates
    · What to expect after prostate surgery, including information on recovery time and getting on with life
    · Medical assessments of popular alternative therapies and more
