Men over 30, At what point would you consider an enlarged prostate an issue? (lemmy.world)

I recently had my prostate examined, and the doctor told me that it was enlarged, but at this point not enough to need to do something about it (They told me that it was approximately double the normal size!)

I got the message that it was not a question about having to do something about it, but more of when. When I asked, when they thought this would be the right time, I was told, that when it becomes a problem

My question is, when do you consider a prostate enlargement, a problem. Sure peeing more often, and it taking longer time, is an inconvenience but not a problem as such.

What are your suggestions?

Interesting

I work 24 hour shifts where being woken up at night is part of my work. This also somewhat messes with my sleep off work so its hard to tell what is what

Firefighter?

No, but I work for a person with a disability. We can rest during the night, but need to assist with some minor things through out the night. It still messes up your sleep quite a lot, but I can usually get back into be withing 5-10 minutes. I feel privileged to get paid for sleeping, doing house chores, go to the movies a few times a week, play board games and even travel during vacations

Right on man, that sounds awesome!

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

it does doesn't it!? Still looking for a new job though LOL. As good as it sounds, my boss is the person that I assist. Such a young boss, with no leadership experience (or even will to be in a leading position), let alone lack of work or life experience, makes for a pretty tough work place. Basically a youngster who can have what they want 24/7 and who can fire you if they don't

It's just too risky for me really
