It is treatable. Many factors can contribute to impotence, the inability of the penis to become erect or stay erect.

Many men have an enlarged prostate, especially as they age.
The prostate gland contributes fluids to the semen used to transport sperm. Because the prostate gland surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine, if enlarged it can restrict the flow of urine and cause difficulty or frequency in urination. A normal prostate weighs about 20 grams. We treat based on symptoms, not size. The only way you'll know for sure if your prostate is enlarged is if your doctor performs a digital rectal exam to check the prostate's size.
