The Prostate (General Complaints)

The prostate is a small gland, barely larger than a walnut, yet it exerts enormous influence over male wellbeing. It sits below the bladder, surrounds the urethra, and produces part of the seminal fluid. When it causes problems — whether as inflammation, enlargement, or chronic complaints — it affects the most fundamental bodily functions: urination, sexuality, sleep. Things you take for granted, until they stop working.

Medicine understands the hormonal and age-related connections well. But the psychosomatic perspective asks a different question: why this particular gland? Why an organ that sits at the intersection of reproduction, pleasure, and excretion — between what you bring forth and what you let go?

Prostate complaints are not a sign of decline. They are a signal that something about the way you live your power is no longer right.
