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?

    Yeah - I mentioned in an other comment that my 24hour shifts force me to get up anything between 5-20 times a night when I am at work. I only work few shifts though, but they still affect the way I sleep when I am off work. I was recently able to adjust some things at work, that now let me sleep more, and only get up maybe 4-6 times a night so things are getting better, but I also really do notice how it has improved my life outside work too! Sleep is very important!
