As Adrian asked, has anyone investigated any of this?
The urinary symptoms are typical of an enlarged prostate (which is nothing to do with prostate cancer). The enlargement squashes the urethra (pee pipe) which makes you pee slowly. You pee for a length of time which is plenty long enough to empty your bladder at a normal pee rate, but it's very likely you will finish peeing before you empty your bladder if peeing slowly, so you go back to bed with still a quite full bladder, and hence need to pee again soon. As something you can try immediately, try double voiding. That means when you finished peeing, wait a minute or two, and have another pee, to see if you can get more out (don't force it). Your GP There are around 10 causes for frequent peeing so it could be something else, although enlarged prostate is the most common.
There are lots of things which can cause impotence and some are quite serious, so you should always get the cause checked out even if you don't care about being impotent. Prostate cancer is one of the potential causes, but it's not near the top of the list.
Prostate Cancer usually has no symptoms, unless it's spread somewhere away from the prostate.
