alphacentauri
From the article link:
>Compared with BPH, which takes only about 1 week to improve with alpha blockers, CP/CPPS takes at least 12 to 14 weeks of therapy, noted study co-author J. Curtis Nickel, MD, professor of urology at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
I have been on Flomax for roughly one week and have experienced a definite improvement in symptoms related to voiding & urgency. I went from peeing 35 times a day to 22 mid-week to 16 yesterday. This is probably also due to taking bladder relaxant (detrusitol). I have some reduction in pain symptoms, but my main pain symptoms have been in the bladder area rather than the prostate.
Is it possible that at 35, I have BPH. 4 years ago, during a routine prostate exam, my uro noted that my prostate was enlarged, but at that time I had no pain there or urinary problems.
Is it common for men to have an asymptomatic enlarged prostate for much of their adult life - until something triggers a problem (perhaps 4 straight nights of boozing & clubing in my case)?
