For years now, I’ve had many of the symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate. Difficulty starting, weak stream, getting up at night, and going frequently. I haven’t experienced any pain associated with this. I recently had a prostate exam and also the blood test for prostate cancer, both of which were negative. My doctor gave me a prescription to knock out any possible bladder infection, but that didn’t change anything. Is there any other condition that could cause these symptoms?
I’m a fit 33 year old, no immediate family history of prostate cancer. I drink about 16 oz of coffee in the morning, and then plenty of tea and water throughout the day. I excercise 5 evenings a week, and drink a moderate amount of water afterwards. I think this may explain the frequency but don’t know about other symptoms.
I’m a nurse. Your muscles are weak in this area, this is the result. I wouldn’t worry but try to drink fluids in moderation. This could also contribute to your problem. Tea and/coffee can make the muscles weak as well. I hope this helps you. Take care and all the best.

i have a friend who has something wrong with his prostate ,the doctor told him that he might have prostate cancer , he needs to check further .what are symptoms of prostate cancer ?
The only true symptoms of prostate cancer are and elevated PSA test. An enlarged prostate itself if not always cancer. That could be benign prostatic hypertrophy aka an enlarged prostate. My dad has prostate cancer plus I am a nurse so if you have more questions just ask.

I have BPH (enlarged Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) and get up 2 to 3 times at night to urinate. I use Flomax daily.
My urology doctor says that I should get either GreenLight Laser (TUIP) or Transurethal resection of Prostate (TURP) surgery done. He says both procedures are safe. (He was leaning more towards Laser surgery).
My questions are:
a) Which one of the two procedures is safer?
b) After the surgery, urine flow will improve without medication but what about the FREQUENCY. Will I still have to get up at night to pass urine? (In other words, will it increase the capacity of my bladder?)
My doctor says "it may".
He is participating in a study that uses 120-watt GreenLight Laser to treat enlarged prostates
If it were me I would go for the laser treatment. Afterwards your flow should increase and you should not have to get up in the night to urinate as there should be less pressure on your urethra and bladder because the prostate will be less enlarged. Go for it and good luck.

Hello Everyone,
If your doctor has determined that you do NOT have prostate cancer, but have a large prostate, what causes this to happen in the first place? I am aware that frequent urination is a main sign of an enlarged prostate, but what causes the prostate to grow in the first place?

Avodart is a prescription drug that will do it. Ask you physican for a prescription if you have an enlarged prostate. Enlarged prostates are a common problem for elderly males; if yu are not over 50 and have one then you best see a urologist about it. For anyone with an enlarged prostate, seeing a urologist would be a good idea. But Avordart does work; it will reduce the size of the prostate but it takes several months or more of daily use before it has a noticeable effect. You will know when it does in your urine stream.

I have looked this up and cannot seem to find a clear answer. So if anyone out there could help i would greatly appreciate it. If a man has an enlarged prostate does that mean he is infertile. My boyfriend has an enlarged prostate, but thank God no prostate cancer. Sometimes when we have sex he ejaculates a lot, and sometimes it is very little. Is the semen he is ejaculating capable of fertilization, or are men with enlarged prostates infetile? Thanks for the help!
maybe infertile or it may be a different hormone disorder , he really ought to see the doctor!

I have this illness and is planning to take saw palmetto but I’m not sure if it is effective.
There is quite a lot of data in respected literature regarding the efficacy of Saw Palmetto Berry (Serenoa repens) in the treatment of BPH. I would recommend you take a jaunt on pubmed and see for yourself.
The key influence of Serenoa is the inhibition of an enzyme that converts regular testosterone into an extremely powerful form that generally is not supposed to last very long in your system. This powerful form of testosterone is responsible for enlarging the prostate and probably has a hand in prostate cancer. It also is the culprit in a lot of male pattern hair loss. Why is that strong hormone sticking around longer than it should? We think it’s because of the Western diet -high in red meat and junk. Our livers are responsible for neutralizing that strong hormone and when they are taxed with all the junk and extra hormones of our modern diets they cant keep up. In Western cultures -esp US, we expect about 50% of men over the age of 40 to have this condition.
When you do the research you’ll see the tremendous science -but, you will also notice recent snipey reports trying to debunk it. This is from the pharmaceutical industry which is trying to push flowmax, proscar, cadura, avodart, etc……

PART 2- In this second installment video, we review the technical aspects and intraoperative landmarks during treatment with a case PVP demonstration.
Anatomic landmarks which will be highlighted include:
-bladder neck
-verumontanum
-urinary sphincter
-prostatic surgical capsule
-ureteral orfices
Laser fibre handling, laser beam direction and distance from tissue will be demonstrated. Tissue vaporization will be demonstrated with efficient debulking in a bloodless fashion. At the completion of the surgery, usually in less than 1 hour, the final prostate fossa is wide open and a catheter is placed temporarily until the anasthesia wears off.

Symptoms of prostate cancer may include the following: urinary problems, such as not being able to urinate, having a hard time starting or stopping the flow of urine, needing to urinate often, especially at night, weak flow of urine, urine flow that starts and stops, pain or burning during urination, difficulty having an erection, blood in the urine or semen, and/or frequent pain in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs. Prostate cancer usually does not cause symptoms in the beginning stages. By the time symptoms do occur, the disease may have spread beyond the prostate.
The “Prostate Cancer Treatment” report includes a review of possible signs and symptoms (such as weak flow of urine or painful ejactulation); descriptions of the various tests used for diagnosis (including digital rectal exam and prostate-specific antigen test); an explanation of the various stages of prostate cancer (Stages I, II, III, and IV); an overview of treatment options (including watchful waiting, surgery, and radation therapy); and also includes 10 pages of related medical terminology (to help you understand what your medical provider is talking about.

my psa is .16 /no cancer
Pomegranates/pomegranate juice have been shown in studies to really help with enlarged prostates. It not only tastes good, but it has other benefits also. Tomatoes have been associated with lowering the risk of prostate cancer.
All the best!
