Waiting For Enlarged
Prostate Symptoms to Strike

An enlarged prostate is all part of the aging process. Even if the
exact cause of that swollen prostate remains a bit of a mystery.

"It's all but inevitable," said David Hoyer.

"You might say it goes with the territory. As your hair turns gray, or worse, your prostate starts to swell. And an enlarged prostate causes it own problems."

Hoyer continued, "My doctor said about half of us over 50 are walking around with a swollen prostate. And are silently dealing with the side affects. The worst for me is having to get up so many times during the night. Wakes up my wife too. And we all know if your woman's not happy things can get kinda tough at times."

Doctors got a fancy term for it too. I just remember BPH. But that's short for 'benign prostatic hyperplasia'. Benign means that's it's not cancerous. And they hyperlasia part means it's growing too much. Or something like that. And it's that expanding part that causes problems in the bathroom if you know what I mean?"

"And when the doctors reaches for those gloves and tells you to drop your pants you know what's coming next. Know what I mean? What they're doing is checking things out with their finger to gauge the size and condition of your prostate."

And when it comes to causes an enlarged prostate you can't get no definite answer. But there is plenty about enlarged prostate symptoms. Even though anyone anyone with an enlarged prostate can spell it out for you pretty quick.
