Urinating a lot doesn't mean that your father has Prostate Cancer, his age too. But it could mean he has an enlarged prostate known as benign prostatic hyperplasia also known as BPH. He could also have a bladder infection.

The only way he will find out is go to the doctor if he hasn't gone already. So if he hasn't gone please encourage him to go. "

" I have been told that frequent having to pee is not necessarily an issue. Emptying the bladder is.

In gact after being treating for PC by radiation, I have some urgency issues but not uncontrollable .

They asy it is to be expected. "
