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?

Go to another doctor. I'm about the same level of prostate problems and I'm on pills and urologist checkups every 4 months.
