Answer:

B. Enlargement of the prostate gland.

Step-by-step explanation:

This physical change is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH and is very common in middle-aged men.

It occurs when cells of the prostate begin to multiply, this squeezed the urethra and limits the flow of urine. One important thing is that it must not be confused with prostatic cancer.

I hope this answer helps you.

Answer: A) Balding

Step-by-step explanation:

Balding is the most common pshysical change in middle-aged men.

Generally speaking, men between 35 and 40 years old develop a state of baldness that although it is not aggravated, it is notorious. Some men even begin to lose their hair at an earlier age, approximately 25 years old and older, although in those cases it is very likely that the cause is a genetic tendency.

Normally, after a certain age range (stated above) the hair fiber begins to lose strength and said follicles simply do not allow hair growth so fast as they did when the individual was younger.
