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?
