Prostate problem in younger age
Posted , 6 users are following.
I am 22 years old male and diagnosed with prostate enlargemnt. I had my first UTI when i was 15 years old. After that i had UTI once or twice the year till i was 20. Two years ago i started facing frequent utis and continous irritation in penis. Main problem was pain in ejaculation and irritation in penis anytime. One year ago the doctor (urologist) asked me to undergo cystoscopy, at that time my full bladder volume was around 300ml and pastvoid above 100ml. Peak flow rate of urine was 13.7ml/s. After the cystoscopy i was told that i have a bladder like of a 50 years old man. I was prescribed tamsulosin for 6 months and a follow up after that. After 6 months of tamsulosin my full bladder volume was around 470ml and pastvoid below 40ml. And peak flow rate was still 13.7ml/s so i was again prescribed tamsulosin for 3 months. Today it has been 9 months since i m taking tamsulosin and now my prevoid and pastvoid is still around 470 and 40. But peak flow rate is decreased to 12.7ml/s. I have follow up with my doctor next week. I am very worried about my future and marrital life. I am still suffering from painfull ejaculation but i dont feel irritation in my penis anytime now. I dont want to undergo any surgery whose side effects can affect my sex life.

As jimjames said look into dailey cialis. Of course at your young age it might give you the dreaded 4 hr ecection. Sound funny but it not. I've been dailey cialis for a couple months I think. Its not quite as good as Flowmax but my sex life has improved somewhat. Flowmax can beat the heck out of your sex life. Also what jimjame and ken have said any type of surgery is only a last resort. There are surgeries that probably will save your sex life but nothing is for sure. Good luck.

I could use one of those dreaded "4 hour erections"
But seriously, at a 5mg daily dose which is equal to only a single 8mg dose, priapism would be a rarity and should not dissuade him or anyone for what could be a superior treatment.

priapism probably not an issue. Although at 20 years old I can remember having long lasting erections that ached. Not sure how a little chemical help would have effected them
Oh, the good ol' days

Yes them were the days. I remember how hard I got betweem 13 to 25 Wish it was still like that but o well. I don't think I could take 4 hour and more I hurt after 15 minutes. When we get older we don't have the stamina. I feel sorry for him at 22 he should be having fun not having thinks out into his penis. I hope he has a doctor that will help him and not surgury happy. That he does not need. LET ALL TRY TO HELP HIM GET BETTER KEN

Good morning How are you today. I can't imagine a doctor telling someone of your age that you need your prostate cut so you can pee bettter. But it can happen. Like I said before the erolife would open you up and take some of the pressure off you bladder there is no cutting and no side effects so you can get back to normal Maybe that would help with the pain. But please don't let them tell you a Turp or a holep is the only answer Ken

One of the most important numbers to know about your prostate, especially
with what is going on here is ..what is the size of your prostate.?.It is a simple quesion, however if it is slightly enlarged then lets go from their. One way to get the true number is a Sonagram.This is also very helpful as a future reference point. DRE 's are not that reliable .Also not that you can take it to the bank, but what is your PSA number..this may indicate infection or something else..but it MUST be stated that PSA numbers can be very confusing to interpret. Also at YOUR AGE a lower fat diet..steering away from dairy and eating more fish & milled flaxseed along with ODERLESS AGED garlic tablets will naturally lower your trigylcerides & control, not stop future UTI's. As state on this forum many times, supplements have received poor reviews, however a lower fat diet can hinder the development.
Good luck dan

Bay and Danya,
He's too young for a PSA test. Size is important, but the functional tests more important. Studies suggest that prostate size does not necessarily corrolate with BPH/LUTS.
