An impaired prostate gland may be a sign of a metabolic imbalance that goes unnoticed until hallmark symptoms, such as frequent or difficult urination and decreased sexual function begin to manifest. The primary job of the prostate gland is to create and secrete seminal fluid critical to the health and motility of sperm. The prostate needs to maintain consistent moisture or the transport of seminal fluid is compromised and inflammation, including benign prostatic hypertrophy (enlarged prostate gland), may occur.
