enlarged prostate - #18044

Kian

I am a 62-year-old guy and I've been dealing with what I think is an enlarged prostate for a while now. Like a few months ago, I started noticing I had to run to the bathroom every few hours, especially at night—ugh, super annoying! There have been times when it feels like I gotta pee, but then barely anything comes out. I went to see my doc, and he mentioned maybe it was an enlarged prostate, but he didn’t dive deep into what that really means or how serious it could get! I also did some tests, you know, of course, the blood and pee tests, and I’m waiting for those results. Sometimes I get this weird pressure or pain down there, and I start freaking out thinking, what if this is something way worse than just an enlarged prostate? I read online that lifestyle can play a role too, like diet or exercise, but I’m not sure if I should start changing everything right now. Have any of you dealt with an enlarged prostate and what did you do to manage it? I’m kinda lost and just want to feel normal again, not having to plan my whole day around bathroom breaks! Thanks for any advice!!
