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

WILMINGTON, N.C., March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The causes and treatments of
enlarged prostate will be the focus of a free community seminar on March 16,
2009 at 6:30pm at the Scotts Hill Baptist Church in Wilmington. 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. William A. Russell III
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

Russell 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). The Scotts Hill Baptist
Church is located at 185 Scotts Hill Loop Road in Wilmington.
