I recently had my prostate examined, and the doctor told me that it was enlarged, but at this point not enough to need to do something about it (They told me that it was approximately double the normal size!)
I got the message that it was not a question about having to do something about it, but more of when. When I asked, when they thought this would be the right time, I was told, that when it becomes a problem
My question is, when do you consider a prostate enlargement, a problem. Sure peeing more often, and it taking longer time, is an inconvenience but not a problem as such.
What are your suggestions?
Im 32 and same issue. Went to doctor for an ultrasound because im a pilot and cant pee at work. I since learnt to sit down to pee, lean forward, and push into your bladder with your fingers. You can even kindve do it when standing up. I end up doing a second wee. This takes a few seconds longer and its helped me so much in life.
I dont have an answer to the question though haha
oh yeah - the sitting is a good tip! for me it was mainly because the lack of pressure would result in an “unreliable trajectory” so its just to be safe. But it is a better way to empty ones bladder for sure! Also a light tug at the balls to pull them forward, in order to get those last few drops that kind of sneak out once you have zipped your trousers…
Good info!
