Make sure that your only problem is prostate enlargement.  Get your PSA blood work done.  Your family doc may prescribe a med that will help shrink the prostate if there are no other problems.  Make sure you check out all possibilities of prostate cancer.  My husband didn't, and he has prostate cancer which has spread to his bones.  \n\nGood luck with all of this.

My dad has it.  It's cancer of the prostate gland which is just below the bladder as described by the other person.  My dad's has spread to his lymphatic system and has now gone into his bones - this took about a year to happen from being diagnosed - it's moved very fast.  His first symptoms were of a desperate need to pee but being unable to do so which is caused by the prostate swelling and pressing on the urethra.\n\nProstate cancer caught early enough can be cured.  It's usuaslly one of the slowest spreading cancers unless it gets into the lymphatic system and then......well, it moves fast.\n\nIf you're worried you should check with a doctor.  If you get a normal PSA reading THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE IT as in rare cases (about 5% including my dad) you can get low readings (dad's was less than 4 originally).  Always insist on a scan (MRI preferably) otherwise what happened to my dad might happen to you.  It was only when he stated to pee blood that they did a scan.\n\nHope you haven't go it.

There is medication available, and it is helpful.  The prostate can be removed through the lower abdomen, but this is generally not the preferred surgical approach since abdominal surgery is something of a "biggie".  You should speak with a urologist if you have prostate concerns.  I have never heard of stents being used in the treatment of enlarged prostate.

It sounds like something else besides a bladder infection. Better get checked out.

The causes of the prostate gland? Men being born, that's the cause of the prostate gland. The cure? For what? I guess regular sex helps.

Also VERY common procedures are...\n\nhydrocele removal (a small fluid filled sac that can grow on a man's scrotum).\n\nbladder stone (caused by retention of urine in the bladder...usually associated with enlarged prostate)\n\nvarious surgeries to correct enlarged prostate (transurethral resection of the prostate, laser ablation of the prostate, transurethral needle ablation of the prostate, etc.)

it may be gynecomastia, enlargement of the natural breasts of mammals. take him to your doctor, it may be hormonal problems. is your son obeise? this can cause it. The condition usually can be diagnosed by examination by a physician. Occasionally, imaging by X-rays or ultrasound is needed to confirm the diagnosis. Blood tests are required to see if there is any underlying disease causing the gynecomastia.

I don't think it is because of  HIV , but better see doctor...it is maybe the prostate or the bladder.

This can occur with several different bladder/urinary conditions.  He needs to see a physician, a urologist would be best, to diagnose the exact condition.  I would advise him not to wait because some of these conditions could worsen over time if left untreated and he could end up hospitalized.

When this happened to me, the docs diagnosed it as prostatitus. They treated me with bactrim and it cleared up.
