Well, don't anybody feel bad until you start sitting down to pee.

Serious qestion regarding BPH. Does anyone know if altitude and/or alcohol affect BPH?
I've had it for years. Generally, peeing just takes an annoying amount of time.
But me a buddy went on a fishing trip at Big Bear Lake, Ca a couple weeks ago, and my pee stream got so slow, I was generally worried to the point of thinking I **** well better get in to see a urologist pronto. It was like they say, hard to empty my bladder.
Now that I'm back home it's back to the usual well livable-with, but aggravating rate.
Don't know if it could've been the altitude, or all the beer drinking - which in my old age has slowed down, just like my pee stream.

It's getting time for the surgery to correct with this surgical instrument.

They have medicine that can help you out in that area.

There are also several different surgical approaches to resolve BPH issues. Try the meds first.

I have weak stream at 57. It's at its worst at night. It's funny how during the day, my stream is fairly normal. It's typical BPH. My Urologist just gave me 5 mg Cialis a day, which we all know has another useful indication but it also acts to relax a valve in your plumbing that makes it easier to pee. I've been taking it for 2 years and so far, so good but I do have an occasional night or two straining a bit.
