I see a urologist annually to monitor multiple uric acid kidney stones in both kidneys. I think she is sadistic based on the things she says that I should have done. She can see on my annual abdominal CT scan that my prostate is enlarged. Since my PSA is normal, I think my prostate should be left alone. She also said that microscopic blood in my urine isn't normal even though the microscopic blood has been detected for years when I was still on warfarin with kidney stones. There was no way I was ever going to do the work-up she said I should do to see why there is blood in my urine even though I can't see any blood in my urine visually.

My kidney stones aren't getting any bigger since the treatment of my uric acid level with allopurinol was initiated. Potassium citrate is shrinking the size of some kidney stones and others have disappeared. My prostate, on the other hand, gets bigger every year. I might not have the urine stream that I used to but hey ... that is the end of the world.

@dadcue I had an enlarged prostate. Having trouble with quick trips to the bathroom. My PSA was normal at 1.0. I went to a urologist and he said that it was enlarged my PSA was normal probably BPH but we could only be sure by doing a biopsy. My father passed away from complications of prostate cancer. Biopsy came back 1 out 12 samples with cancer. contained in the prostate. Dr recommended monitor. I couldnt do it. I could see no reason to wait on it to get worse. So I removed it. 6 years now with no PSA. < .01. But I have had to live with side effects. I am on the Mayo prostate site. Some very educated men on that site.

A poor urine stream is NOT the end of the world.

@dadcue I just learned that Ulric acid is definitely
Not red meat consumption
It’s insulin resistance
Taking meds for the wrong cause leads to more meds
Sugar fructose AIC All contributing to insulin in blood stream Got info from info@ martinclinic. com Podcast look on top of website for podcast Good luck
