Prostrate Problems
Question:
Trouble urinating in the morning. Rest of the day no problem. Retarded ejaculation. I always have an erection in the morning when I wake up.I am 67, otherwise in good health. I had my prostate checked by rubber glove method recently. My physician had no comment, except to ask if I had trouble urinating.Do you have some general comments to make? Is my condition fairly normal? Am I likely to get worse? At my age does it matter?
Answer:The symptoms described are probably variations of normal. Morning erections at age 67 is a good sign.The morning voiding difficulties could be handled with medication. I would recommend that you see a good urologist and get a PSA. Michael Mitchell, MD University of Washington Medical Center |
