Enlarged prostate symptoms and my solution.

A scan revealed an enlarged prostate. Then I learned I wasn't getting up 3-5 times a night, but it was every hour, on the hour.

A mate suggested I go without bread/toast & cereal for breakfast. Lunch and after is fine, but not for breakfast. I was eating muesli every morning and it was no great inconvenience to just eat something else.

It had an immediate effect. I was immediately down to 1-2 loo visits. From 7-9.

Except when I had an after dinner espresso or alcohol after sleep-8hrs. That would send me straight back to hourly awakenings.

I read that alcohol is an inflamer so if I want to drink in the evenings now (and I often do), I just take an anti inflammatory (Diclofenac 50mg) before sleep and now I can sleep through the night with only 1-2 awakenings.

Does anyone else have some organic solutions?
