I recently had my prostate examined, and the doctor told me that it was enlarged, but at this point not enough to need to do something about it (They told me that it was approximately double the normal size!)
I got the message that it was not a question about having to do something about it, but more of when. When I asked, when they thought this would be the right time, I was told, that when it becomes a problem
My question is, when do you consider a prostate enlargement, a problem. Sure peeing more often, and it taking longer time, is an inconvenience but not a problem as such.
What are your suggestions?
Was the exam with a general practitioner, or a urologist?
If a GP, I’d get checked by a urologist.
If a urologist, I’d probably ask for more information. I would want to know of any specific symptoms that might be treated as early warning signs, as well as organising an ongoing schedule of check-ups to monitor the size. It would be worth asking about treatment options as well.
