What is the prostate and why prostate health screening or assessment matters?

The prostate is a small, walnut-sized gland located below the bladder in men. It plays a critical role in male reproductive health by producing seminal fluid. As men age, the prostate often enlarges or becomes inflamed, leading to urinary issues, sexual dysfunction, or even prostate cancer—the second most common cancer in men in the U.S.

Over 50% of men over age 50 experience prostate-related issues, and that number rises to 80% by age 70. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common concern, causing urinary symptoms that can impact quality of life and may require treatment.

At Bastion Health, we help men monitor, manage, and treat prostate issues through a virtual care model—backed by board-certified urologists and at-home diagnostic kits. No travel, no delays—just expert prostate health care from the comfort of home.

Symptoms of prostate health issues

  • Prostate issues often develop gradually and may go unnoticed until they start affecting daily life. Key signs include:

    • Frequent urination (especially at night)

    • Difficulty starting or stopping urine flow

    • Weak urine stream

    • Pain during urination or ejaculation

    • Erectile dysfunction

    These symptoms may signal benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, or early prostate cancer. Early evaluation and testing are key to successful treatment.

    • Age

    • Family history: especially with prostate cancer

    • African American ethnicity: higher risk and more aggressive cancer

    • Hormonal changes: especially testosterone imbalance

    • Obesity, poor diet, and sedentary lifestyle

    • Environmental & occupational exposure

  • Ignoring prostate health symptoms increases risk for:

    • Urinary retention

    • Kidney damage

    • Prostate cancer progression

    • Sexual dysfunction

    • Chronic pelvic pain

    Prostate conditions are highly treatable—especially when detected early.

Prostate health screening and diagnosis

  • Prostate cancer often develops without symptoms. Early screening helps catch issues like cancer, BPH, or prostatitis before they affect your health or quality of life. Bastion Health offers easy, at-home screening with expert virtual care.

    Early detection helps:

    • Catch cancer before it spreads

    • Preserve urinary and sexual function

    • Allow for less invasive treatment

    • Manage prostate issues before symptoms worsen

    • PSA blood rest kit: measures prostate-specific antigen from home

    • Urine analysis kit: screens for infection and inflammation

    • Telehealth visit with a urologist: review results, discuss concerns, and plan next steps

    We follow national screening guidelines (AUA, USPSTF) to offer age- and risk-based prostate screening protocols—typically starting at age 50 (or 45 for high-risk men).

    • Prostate MRI, biopsy, or ultrasound

    • Urinalysis and imaging for BPH or prostatitis

    Bastion Health provides referral coordination to trusted local partners for in-person prostate care and imaging.

What parameters are tested?

  • Prostate-specific antigen (total and free)

    PSA is a protein made by prostate cells. The PSA test measures total PSA in the blood to screen for enlarged prostate and early prostate cancer. The free PSA test measures unbound PSA to help distinguish cancer from benign conditions.

  • Urine analysis

    Urinalysis tests urine for many different substances such as Protein, Ketones, Blood, Nitrite, Leukocyte, etc. It also looks for identifying urinary tract infections that could have similar symptoms to prostate enlargement and prostate cancer.

  • Potential of hydrogen

    Assesses urine acidity. Abnormal pH levels (too high or too low) may suggest chronic inflammation or infection in the urinary tract, which can stem from prostatitis or bladder outlet obstruction due to an enlarged prostate.

  • Urine glucose

    High glucose in the urine may indicate diabetes, a condition strongly linked to BPH and lower urinary tract symptoms. Diabetic men are at greater risk for urinary infections and slower bladder emptying.

  • Urine protein

    Detects excess protein in the urine. While not specific to prostate disease, proteinuria can signal kidney strain due to long-standing urinary retention or infection—both of which may be associated with BPH or chronic prostatitis.

  • Urine ketones

    Often associated with uncontrolled diabetes or fasting. Though not a direct prostate marker, ketones in urine can signal systemic issues that may worsen urinary health in men with prostate conditions.

Prostate treatment options

    • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

    • Chronic or acute prostatitis

    • Elevated PSA monitoring

    • Navigation for prostate cancer treatment pathways

    • Prescriptions: alpha blockers, 5-ARIs, antibiotics, hormone therapies

    • Urologist-curated care plans: personalized based on labs and symptoms

    • Lifestyle interventions: diet, exercise, hydration, supplements

    Care is ongoing—Bastion offers continued virtual follow-ups and easy access to licensed urologists for comprehensive prostate health management.

    • TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate)

    • Laser therapy or prostatectomy (for cancer or BPH)

    • Biopsy & imaging navigation

    You stay in control. Bastion guides every step of your prostate health journey.

Whole-person care for men’s prostate health

    • Low testosterone (Low T)

    • Erectile dysfunction (ED)

    • Metabolic syndrome: high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity impact prostate outcomes

  • Prostate concerns can cause or worsen depression, anxiety, and relationship stress.

    While Bastion doesn’t provide therapy, we educate and refer for:

    • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

    • Sexual health counseling

    • Peer support groups

    • Pelvic floor physical therapy for urinary and pelvic pain relief

    • Anti-inflammatory nutrition coaching for symptom control

    • Exercise & bladder training for long-term improvement

 FAQs

  • Prostate issues can cause symptoms such as frequent urination (especially at night), difficulty starting or stopping urination, weak urine flow, pain during urination or ejaculation, blood in the urine or semen, and discomfort in the lower back or pelvic area. Erectile dysfunction and decreased libido may also be linked to prostate health concerns.

  • Maintaining prostate health involves a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, regular exercise, staying hydrated, and managing weight. Routine check-ups, including PSA screenings, help with early detection and prevention of serious conditions like prostate cancer.

  • Risk factors for prostate issues include aging, family history of prostate cancer, African American ethnicity, obesity, and a diet high in unhealthy fats. Men over 50 should be particularly mindful of their prostate health and consider regular screenings.

  • Treatment depends on the specific condition and severity of symptoms. Options include medications like alpha-blockers for BPH, antibiotics for prostatitis, and hormonal therapies for prostate cancer. Minimally invasive procedures or surgery may be recommended for more advanced cases. Lifestyle changes can also play a role in symptom management.
