what is prostate disease - #20970
I am really confused about my dad's health right now, and maybe someone here can help. He's been having some issues lately, and we just found out that he might have what is prostate disease. At first, it wasn't clear, but after several tests, the doctor mentioned something about enlarged prostate and some weird symptoms. He's complaining about frequent urination, especially at night—like, he's up every couple of hours! I've read a bit about what is prostate disease, but honestly, it’s a bit overwhelming. The whole idea makes me worried, especially considering his age and history. He doesn't seem to take it seriously though, like he brushes it off as normal aging, but I can't shake the feeling that this could be serious. It’s weird how it all started with just a bit of discomfort, and now it's like a whole saga. Besides the urination thing, he sometimes has this dull ache in the lower abdomen, and I wonder if that’s common with what is prostate disease. Can anyone explain what exactly is prostate disease, and should we be taking more drastic measures or is it more manageable than it seems? Also, are there specific symptoms to watch for to know if it’s getting worse? I'm just really trying to figure out what we should do next here because it feels like we're in a bit over our heads.
