Prostate trouble?

Hell I didn't know. My step-dad just loves the butt. So he tells me to eat tomatoes because it's good for my prostate. I just kinda thought like he did

Does anyone have any prostate ideas, tip, remarks? my grandfather is afraid of doctors & refuses to see them, yet has a horrid problem w/ his prostate. Its gone far enough that my grandma put a.... fuck its late- I can think of the word, but its to help you piss, you insert a long needle thing into the penis... I bet I remember what its called after I hit the post button... Anyway if anyone has dealt with prostate problems and has suggestions on natural ways to deal with them, I'd be appreciative....

Prostate problems usually occur in people who are fairly old, because the prostate keeps growing throughout life, and can start constricting the urethra. Usually the problem is starting urination, rather than it stopping in the middle. But that's a strange symptom, leakynavel, and if it happens regularly I think you should see a doctor. I wonder if it's a stone.
InsightFromMe, there are drugs that can shrink the prostate, but of course they need a doctor's prescription. If your grandfather prefers to be catheterised (unpleasant, especially if it's a metal catheter) rather than see a doctor, there's nothing much you can do.

yea thats his problem, he can't start to piss, and we've tried numerous things- even got him a waterfall thing for his birthday hoping the sound of it would help... At least that explaination helps me understand what is wrong (constricting the urethra)...I've seen underwear in magizines thats suppose to press on the prostate and help w/ problems- anyone know if they work?

Thanks for the advice. I think I will go see the doc but I hate having my stuff checked and all. Oh well, better safe than sorry I guess.

Hey leakynavel - Know how your doc will check your prostate? They stick their finger up your ass and feel the prostate gland. All men over 40 yrs should have their prostate checked every year. For me, soon I'll have to start looking for a doctor with small hands and skinny fingues.

Actually, for most men, prostate exams shouldn't begin until age 50. Unless there is a family history of prostate cancer, then exams should begin at age 40.
I've already had one prostate exam, at the tender age of 29 :blush: I had a high bilirubin count in my blood, and had to see a gastroenterologist (sp?). As part of his physical exam, he did a prostate exam on me too as I guess just part of routine procedure to isolate the problem. Although I really think it was completely unneccesary, as bilirubin has to do with the liver, and has nothing to do with the prostate, and the chances of a guy in his 20's to have prostate cancer is so extremely remote its usually not even considered.
Oh well, it really wasn't a big deal. The 'ol finger in the rectum thing to feel the prostate literally took the doctor like 5 seconds. It was quick and painless. A bit awkward and embarrassing, but whaddaya gonna do - that's life ya know? Hey the doctor has a prostate too, and he needs the same exam (he was like in his 60's) so I suppose there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Actually, he has a shitty job (pun intended) sticking his finger up guy's asses! :open_mouth: I certainly wouldn't want that job! I guess that's why he gets paid well :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I wonder if these doctors and urologists give themselves their own prostate exams, or if they see another doctor for it? :confused:
