How many of you had an enlarged prostate?

For the last few years all of my DRE exams were reported to be normal. The Doctor always indicated that my prostate was smooth, no hard or rough spots and although was large, it was normal size for a guy in his early 70's. Sorry but that's all I can offer on ENLARGED PROSTATE. I do thank the Good Lord that I never did have any trouble with peeing with my big old prostate.

BPH is very common. The two drugs used to treat it, Proscar and Avodart are both $Billion$ dollar TV drugs..

Generally, a BIOPSY is used to rule out cancer, along with an ultrasound survey of the prostate to determine its size.. BPH can cause severe urinary symptoms, PC less so...

BPH can result in an elevated PSA score, Your Urologist should be able to sort it all out for you..

Take a look at my history and you will see where BPH and PC can intertwine and cause problems....

I had an enlarged prostate and was taking Cardora which is an alpha blocker. After surgery my prostate weighed 57 grams.
