Info about enlarged prostate

I'm a member to the daily strength web site, as I have endo. My father has been dealing with an enlarged prostate, and I told him to try this web site to be able to speak to other men and ask questions. But he didn't want to do that, so here I'am asking for my father.

Please any and all information that you have about enlarged prostate please post it here, or message it to me. My father is just wanting to be able to use the restroom, and not have that awful feeling like he has to go really bad, and then only to have to strain to only pea a little bit, and sometimes nothing at all.

thanks in advance!!

Thanks! "

" Sounds like he should see his Urologyst again. If his meds aren't working there's no point in taking them. I've been taking Avodart and Uroxathral for over a year now and I have a normal urine flow. Has he had his PSA checked? If not, he should. If it's above normal there's another reason to see a specialist. "
