What causes a prostate to swell?

Answer by  worker5167 (63)

A common cause of a swollen prostate is cancer, so it is always recommended to get the prostate checked out by a doctor. Age is the most common cause of a swollen prostate, and 90% of men over the age of 80 have a swollen prostate, and many men in their thirties can also have a swollen prostate.
