Prostate problems that cause straining to urinate (every time) and that causes him to sweat from pushing so hard) and frequent urination. He has all the symptoms of it. Stones have been ruled out as well as any type of infection. Thanks for any help.
Yes he will be going to the doctor next week. I just wanted to see what I could find out on here to ease his mind a little.
Anything is possible. But a trip to the urologist will be his best bet to figure it out.

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’m a 32 year old male. Recently I have been experiencing frequent urination and I can’t last 1 minute while having sex without having an orgasm. These have never, ever been a problem with me in the past. Is this a precursor to some medical condition?
Definitely sounds like a prostate problem, go see a urologist. You may have an enlarged prostate which can be easily fixed though you are quite young. Another possibility could be prostatitis which is common in males of any kind. Or it could be a UTI. Get it checked out anyway.

I am 38 years old and I’ve been suffering from prostatitis for 4 years now.I have seen all kinds of doctors and have taken Flomax,and other pills to help me with this,but nothing has worked out for me.I have the cancer analysis taken and it was negative.For two years now I’ve sleeping with a pillow between my legs.Is there a way anybody know that’s effective in healing the prostate gland?
There is a urologist at Stanford who has quite a different view of our problem. He has written a book called "Headache in the Pelvis" that has been well received. You can get the 4th edition at Amazon or another book store.
His idea is that you don’t have a urinary problem. The reason it has been untreatable is because nothing has been done that addresses the real problem. The problem is knots in your pelvic floor muscles that refer pain to various nearby areas. To understand this, you might want to find a copy of the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.
A lot of men get relief from a specially trained physical therapist (often one trained to work on women’s issues, but the pelvic muscles are the same), from relaxation techniques, and from drugs that relax like valium and xanax. There is a high correlation with underlying anxiety and this pain.
There is a group of guys to talk to at chronicprostatitis.com. It has been well worth the fee to join for me ($20 so they can pay their online costs). At least I know we aren’t alone.
There is a fair amount of research. Sometimes it is called nonbacterial prostatitis, sometimes chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS).
I was able to find a urologist who had read the book and understood the problem, but it wasn’t easy. Urologists make a lot of money out of us by convincing us its the prostate.

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.
