"Prostate cancer is very common. What's even more common than that is men with enlarged prostates. As we get older our prostates grow, and that often times causes urinary problems. We're getting up at night to pee, or the stream is not as strong as it used to be. There are good treatments for that." Says Bream.
"These men heal very quickly. They tend to stay in the hospital one night. We do that operation well into men's 80's." Added Bream "I have patients come back and say I haven't peed that great since I was 35 years old!"
