Well put Sandra. You are still comparatively young but as men grow older it is quite usual for the size of their prostates to increase to varying extent and sometimes impinge on the urinary system so that they experience more frequent need to urinate. If this becomes a major problem measures can be taken to alleviate it. Additional symptoms that include any of pain to urinate, blood in urine, cloudy or strong smelling water are more indicative of a urinary infection but could be something else. Urine sample should be tested and where a UTI is established appropriate antibiotics given. It should be noted that not all UTI's are readily found and they can sometimes be difficult to overcome. There is sometimes a tendency for people who have to urinate frequently to try to combat this by drinking less fluid. This can make the situation worse. Plenty of water should be drunk to weaken the strength of urine and to flush the system.

Hello happy.

If you have an enlarged prostate you are likely to want to pee frequently.

Whatever happened needs to be sorted out. You don't say what it is and I'm not going to ask but that and the ED are bothering you enough for you to come on here and ask advice then you really need to go back to your GP and speak to him/her, especially with bladder pain.

You may have an infection and that means medication.

IT's doubtful if anyone on here will be able to help you without more information and that won't happen for you until your problems are investigated.

Don't delay, Go to GP and tell them what the problem is and come back to us if you need help with what you are told

Best Wishes

Sandra

When you messaged me this morning I suggested you get yourself to A&E, I think you've been suffering this for far too long for it to continue like this. ColU_FC suggested you do this as well, perhaps it's now time to go there?
