Talking about your prostate, urinary symptoms, or sexual dysfunction can be uncomfortable, but it’s essential to men’s health. The prostate is a tiny reproductive organ the size of a walnut located below a man’s urinary bladder. It’s responsible for making semen and tends to grow larger with age.

“An enlarged prostate is often called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a noncancerous condition that may affect sexual function,” says Steven Guarnaccia, MD, a urologist with Dignity Health Medical Group — Sequoia. “Its symptoms include slow urine flow, difficulty urinating, frequent or urgent need to urinate, dribbling after urination, and waking up at night to urinate.”

Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing American sports and is only continuing to rise in  popularity as summer approaches. But as with many activities, injuries are likely to happen without proper technique and preparation.

Arati Dunbar, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at Dignity Health Medical Group — Sequoia, shares how to prevent getting hurt while engaging in fun sports this summer.
