Answer:A) Impotence b) decreased volume of ejaculate C) Gynaecomastia d) decreased libido

Explanation:

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland (prostate gland is a gland in the male reproductive system located below the bladder, the gland helps to control urination and forms part of the semen content) Enlargement of the prostate gland could compress the urinary tube thereby impeding the outflow of urine.

Dustateride used to treat BPH helps to improve urine flow by preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone in the body (dihydrotestosterone is an hormone responsible for the growth of the prostate gland and other reproductive systems) therefore preventation of this conversion stops the further enlargement of the prostate gland thus improving urine flow.

Side effects of drugs that block the production of dihydrotestosterone in men (e.g. Dutasteride) causes low amount of the hormone and could cause the following side effects ; Excess fat development around the breast (Gynaecomastia), erectile dysfunction, ejaculation disorder and decreased libido.

Which type of flexibility is most beneficial when performed during a cooldown or on a rest day?
GrogVix [38]

Given what we know, we can confirm that the flexibility type that is most beneficial when performed during a cooldown or on a rest day is that of static stretching.

<h3>What is static stretching?</h3>
  • Static stretching involves taking a muscle and stretching it to its limit.
  • This is done over the course of 15 to 20 seconds, multiple times over an interval of time.
  • This type of stretching has a relaxation effect on the muscle and increases the movements permitted by the muscle.
  • It is the most common and widely used form of stretching.

Therefore, we can confirm that given its relaxation effect as well as its efficiency in increasing the range of motion for a muscle, static stretching is the most beneficial type of stretching when performed during a cooldown or on a rest day.
