A fact of life for many males over fifty seems to be an enlarged prostate gland. Not only a nuisance, but literally, a pain in the arse. Its symptoms are discomfort and burning sensations, delayed and interrupted flow, frequent urination and if untreated, constant dribbling and incontinance. Those are the benign symptoms ... before the nasty "C" word comes in and this normally maneagable complaint turns into "life threatening".
I have been its victim for about fifteen years and have tried verious remedies and medication, While some seem to alleviate the condition, nothing cures; the only urologist advised option being surgery, with a catheter aided post operative period of one to three weeks. (They say)
The fact is, from conversation with quite a few patients, it's not always that simple. Some have compained of several weeks of post op infections and very slow healing ... Some, almost gothic horror stories of loss of libido and ongoing incontinance.
Since I do not relish the prospect of having a Black and Decker shoved down my dick and all the other appliances, I have opted for the mediacation route, and am happy to report that although the problem is still there, IT IS GETTING BETTER and I may now get a good night's sleep without interruption on most nights.
Prostatitis is a curse for many mature men, and as I am still willing to learn, is there anyone out there with alternative experience to share? scared2:

Too much information.

FWIW Moz, I've had a couple of run-ins with the prostate. Both time diagnosed as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia which is basically an annoyed and inflamed prostate. Gives all the symptoms you describe - the worst of which is trying for half an hour to piss while desperate!
Both times it cleared up of its own accord after a week or two. PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) tests both times within normal range so no big C in question. First was 10 years ago, second 5, so I'm half expecting another one soon.
Though, to be fair, I have a sneaking suspicion that it was a very small stone that caused the problems since the last bout stopped quite suddenly.
You have my sympathy - I am reliably informed that orgasms help since they exercise the wretched thing.

Indeed? I moved it out of the saloon but wasn?t sure where else to dump it ? do you think it should go or do we need a medical room for such topics? sick2:

Read and learn Nick - it may strike you one day! We're none of us (except the ladies of course - the genuine ones that is) immune from the potential for problems in this area!
-
No. Having a medical room would just encourage other hypochondriacs, whingers and so on to let it all hang out. I smote him!

Possibly so, but I don't want to read about it. I have now got my legs crossed becuase of this thread!

A top idea sirrah! A medical room would be quite useful - after all, lots of medical stuff routinely gets discussed of a pie and a pint.

Who did you smote? Me? Pourquoi? What did I do to warrant such cavalier treatment?

Have you never spent an illuminating evening earwigging the group of women at the table by the window? You'd be amazed at the exchange of information!! Positively makes your eyes boggle!

Makes my stomach turn? They should stand outside with the smokers if they want to talk about that stuff. noooo:

Yes. All they talk about is plumbing too, except it seems more complicated with them. I have noticed a drift towards boob jobs and liposuction in recent years though eeek:

I was in the chemist this morning and the woman in front of me asked if he had anything for cystitis ? just like that, bold as brass ? didn?t whisper or anything? noooo:

I think you'll find that their 'plumbing' in the strict sense of the word is actually simpler - they don't have the damned valve that causes all or our problems do they?
They do, however, have much more interesting bits elsewhere!

I once got sent to the Chemist to buy some sanitary towels for Mrs Nick in some sort of plumbing emergency. Surveying the vast range on offer when the chemist man approached me and asked if I wanted help.
I said I wanted some sanitary towels.
He said, "For a woman?"
We both sort of froze after that eeek:

I am told that yoghurt can be useful on occasions too! redface:

I think that is for thrush.

There you go! Not too painful was it? Hiding from these things is no good Nick. It doesn't make them go away anymore than it does with taxes and stuff.
So what's your 'complaint of the month' then?
-
I suggest you hide your e mail address from teh world by amending your profile!
-
By the way Nick, you're getting smote. My reason? You had a moan about this thread, yet I found this thread (http://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/index.php?topic=185.0) in the top section!
Talk about double standards. You owe me a pint at least.

Oddly enough I have not been ill for ages, years I think. Consider Providence tempted

Is this what you call 'cock waving'?

May we move on to Constipation? Three days, no movement, despite heroic amounts of Young's Ordinary, a devilish Chicken Phall and seriously evil chile sauce...
I can only assume that my quest to try all the Biltong in the pub (Cow, Ostrich and some sort of Antelope type thingy) on Friday night caused a major blockage?

I've already had some line cleaner (seriously) and that didn't work...normally guaranteed within a minute.

Diarrhoea anyone?

No thanks ~ I think I've got some here somewhere ..... just hold my bicycle clips will you.

Not me. Just wondering. Perhaps the constipated and the diarrhoeaised (sp?) could meet in the Snug and compare notes!
