Early symptoms prostate issues
I feel like an intruder here. I don't have cancer....
...but I could use some advice please.... prostate. ...I have had frequency and urgency for many years but they are increasing notably... the urologist appears casual about it... annual visits...... . Every time I get up from my desk a pit stop is part of the routine.
I see online info showing those two symptoms as a frequent preamble. I am also a caretaker for my wife which complicates the outlook. Thank you ...

If you have an urgency problem There are a couple of pills that really make a difference I use myrbetriq but gemtesa works just as well.
I used to wake up at night, two or three times and Feel like I had to pee, but I knew I didn’t. Still got up I did it, but the urgency was just hard to resist. After being on myrbetriq I no longer have to get up at night at all. It relieves the urgency completely. It may take a couple of weeks to become effective. Taking 25 mg twice a day works the best for me, I tried it once a day and that was not enough.
Talk to your doctor about this and request A prescription from him.

1 Reactionwelcome, intruder front.
It is easy to get tested for urinary tract infections. Your primary care doctor could give you an order to use a lab. If you haven't been tested, well, it is a common cause of frequency and urgency. It is best not to ignore the possibility because it can lead to kidney infection, if left untreated.
Some medications can cause urgency and frequency as can caffeine and alcohol beverages. There can be cause in second growth of the prostate which can result in benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Jeff has the best advice.
