A program for
Cancer and Non-Cancer Patients
Your entire health is important to us, and that includes your sexual health. Evidence suggests that sexual satisfaction is positively associated with improved health outcomes later in life.
Men commonly experience sexual health changes during their lifetime. These may include a decrease in libido (desire to engage in sexual activity), or a change in the ability to physically participate in sexual activities. The changes may be the result of age, or they could be caused by medications or a chronic illness such as diabetes or cancer. The Men's Sexual Health Program at Baptist MDÂ Anderson Cancer Center is here to help, offering resources and treatment options for both cancer and non-cancer patients.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Enlarged Prostate Treatment
Understanding BPH: More Common Than You Think
Let's talk about Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) - or as it's commonly known, an enlarged prostate. First, it's not cancer. It's actually something most men experience as they age.
While you can't prevent BPH, you don't have to put up with those frustrating symptoms: midnight trips to the bathroom, sudden urges to go, or that annoying weak stream.
Though it might seem like just a nuisance, leaving BPH untreated can lead to more serious issues. Here's the good news: while BPH may be a natural part of aging, living with its symptoms doesn't have to be.
