Shiatsu literally means "finger pressure" in Japanese. It is a Oriental technique that focuses on acupressure points to restore and maintain health, by unblocking the energy that flows through the acupuncture meridians.
~~~~~What is the prostate?~~~~~
The prostate is a gland of the male reproductive system. The prostate produces some of the fluid for semen, which transports sperm during the male orgasm.
Normally, the prostate is quite small�it is nearly the same size and shape as a chestnut. It is located in front of the rectum, just below the bladder, and wraps around the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out through the tip of the penis. The prostate is made up of approximately 30% muscular tissue, and the rest is glandular tissue.
~~~~~Aging and the prostate.~~~~~
As a man gets older, his prostate may increase in size. This condition is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).BPH is the enlargement of the prostate, frequently occurring in men over the age of 50. The enlargement can result in a gradual squeezing of the urethra, sometimes causing difficulty in urinating.
An increase in the size of the prostate and a change in urine flow do not necessarily mean you have cancer; you may have BPH, an infection or another urologic condition. It is important to note that BPH is not cancer, nor has it been shown to increase the risk of prostate cancer. However, a man can have both BPH and prostate cancer.
