I was having some of the symptoms over the last few months so went to see the GP.I had tests, including the PSA and was told I have an enlarged prostate and have been prescribed a daily tablet to try to shrink it down.One of the lads I play football with has had to have a prostatectomy after having a cancer diagnosis.His operation was about ten weeks ago and returned to the pitch a few days back. The husband of my wife’s friend had symptoms but kept putting off going to see the doctor.He eventually went a couple of months ago and was told he had prostate cancer which was too far on and has been given less than a year to live.It is always worth going to see the GP if you are in the slightest doubt about whether you may have early onset issues.

I was still getting up to go to the toilet so stopped taking them after about three years. A mate found buying Prostasan tablets helped him. I’m just coming to end of a three month course of them and have seen no improvement so will kick them into touch. I was up five or six times last night but did have to get most of my water ration later than usual. The joys of getting old.

The joys of getting old.Cheers idler for the info.My getting up in the night has been a feature of my life for a long time now.To be fair I do have more uninterrupted nights of late so maybe the tablets are working for me.As for getting older, I am more than happy to keep doing that.The alternative is not good.

If so, I can tell you they definitely work for me.

I agree about continuing to grow old hound. I’m 76 and counting but finding the gym a lot harder now.
