Urological & Prostate Health

The prostate gland isn’t that big – about the size of a walnut – but it plays an important role in men’s reproductive health. Located below the bladder and in front of the rectum, it wraps around the upper part of the urethra, which carries urine out of the body. Because of its placement, the prostate can affect urination and sexual function. The urology team at SSM Health provides expert prostate care, working with you to find the best individualized treatment for your prostate condition.

Your physician can also discuss ways to optimize your health so you can get the most out of life.
