Free Community Seminar to Review Treatment Options for Enlarged Prostate



    Supporting men's health awareness by exploring solutions to the most
common health problem for men over the age of 60

    MANASSAS, Va., March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The causes and treatments of
enlarged prostate will be the focus of a free community seminar on March
18, 2009 at 6:00pm at the Prince William Hospital in Manassas. Also known
as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), this non-cancerous enlargement of
the prostate affects more than half of all men over the age of 60 and more
than 26 million men in the United States each year.

    Although BPH is a common health problem, many men lack awareness and
understanding about the condition, symptoms, treatment solutions and
overall health risks associated with delaying treatment. Dr. Anshu Guleria
will be hosting the educational seminar titled "Finding a Satisfying
Solution to Enlarged Prostate" and will cover symptoms as well as the range
of effective treatment options now available to men who suffer from BPH.

    By age 80, about 80 percent of all men have BPH. Symptoms include
difficulty in urinating, a reduced urine stream, straining to urinate,
frequency of urination, and a feeling that the bladder never completely
empties

    Guleria is a specialist dealing with BPH and will hold an open question
and answer session at the conclusion of the session.

    The impact of BPH on the quality of life of patients and their partners
will also be discussed. Spouses or partners are invited and encouraged to
attend. Refreshments will be served, and the presentation will last
approximately one hour.

    The seminar is free and open to the public. Space is limited, so please
make a reservation by calling 866-HEAL-BPH (866-432-5274). Prince William
Hospital is located at 8700 Sudley Road in Manassas.
