Why do prostate issues, if you have them, flare up or become more evident when you’re in bed overnight? Is it something to do with being prone/lying down?

Can you be a little more specific winglets. Do you mean getting up to pee all the time?

Hi Everton,

Yeah I had mentioned on my previous thread - it's just this slight sensation of awareness with a slight urge to pee. It's really difficult to describe. It's not a real urgency, i.e. I'm not like rushing to the toilet. It's more like a slight sense of discomfort maybe. Ill wake up to this around 3/4 am, sometimes 1am, so only an hour after falling asleep. Other times though, I have just gone back to sleep instantly and it's been fine.

Like for example, last night I woke up at like 1am feeling this sensation. I did not drink much before bed which was around 12midnight (did have cup of tea 500ml around 9pm). The only other noticeable symptom is this slightly strange, taste in my mouth upon waking. Again not sure what that's about. This is really frustrating as I've gone from someone who had zero issues with sleep to disturbed/middle of the night insomnia type sleeping patterns.

Just offering a piece of advice since you already have 4 threads open on this board as well as other boards. The info you have gotten from all these members has not calmed your worries. We are not, and I am not a doctor. A slightly enlarged prostate and the urge to pee at night are not glaring signs of prostate cancer. You need to step back and take a breath. Go to your GP in the NHS and schedule an appointment with a urologist. While,speaking with your GP, bring up that you are are a worrier and fixate on the possible worst scenarios. You need to address that issue first, because worrying about prostate cancer because you are peeing at night is not healthy. You're too young to be dragging yourself down this rabbit hole . Work on your anxiety issues and maybe you'll stop worrying about cancer. Here's hoping you calm your fears, but get the help you need.

Thanks Dogdays, you're right I am thinking of the worst case scenario and my anxiety is causing me to lose focus at work, as I'm spending most of my time on prostate cancer forums and dominating them one by one.

I suppose any onset of symptoms, my instinctive reaction is to think cancer, even though it’s so unlikely at this age. I’m extremely worried about having this PSA done because I hate just waiting to hear a number and worrying that it could be higher than it should be, just like my prostate was larger than it should be.
