No, but you should get your annual check ups to be sure.

Most men will have some enlargement of the prostate, but this doesn't happen to all men; and there are medications now to keep that under control. It's important for men over 40, and essential for men over 50, to have an annual prostate exam which includes direct exam by a physician and a lab test for PSA.

No. Your chances increase more after the age of 50 and the older you get, the more likely you are to have problems. But if you're lucky you'll be asymptomatic.
Pumpkin seeds are a good preventative natural medicine. They contain Zinc and have a good fatty acid profile.

generally speaking yes....most men will have some enlargement of the gland as they age and it is not a problem for many of them....That's why it is so important to have annual check ups including a rectal exam and a PSA test.....

PROSTATE CANCER IS ALL ABOUT THEIR GENETIC GENE. IF HIS FATHER HAS IT...HE IS VERY LIKEY TO HAVE IT, BUT NOT MOST LIKELY UNTIL HE HITS 50 YRS OLD, IF HE HAS A GREAT IMMUNE SYSTEM. IF NOT HE CAN EASILY GET IT AS EARLY AS 30 YRS OLD. THEIR HEALTH CONDITION IS USUALLY WHAT MATTERS IN THAT SITUATION. GOOD LUCK, AND MAKE HIM GO SEE A DOC

No. But check ups are necessary, as a precautionary measure.
Just like women and mammograms.....
