Get your Prostate checked Guys

- yes familiar story I'm afraid. Last summer i was identified as having BPE - benign prostate enlargement (not PC) but symptoms similar. I didnt have Rezum, but TURPs or TURIS - (trans urethral re-section in saline) which basically is a re-bore of the urethra to open things up a bit. Catheterisation was part of this and definitely not a bucket list recommendation. However, better than the alternative and not as serious as Dave's experience - but well done Dave for raising this topic and hope you have a full and complete recovery . It's a subject that needs to be discussed among us blokes of a certain age.

Looks like Royalty reads these pages and acts upon the sound advice herein:

Beat me to it Guy!

Thanks for the well wishes, I have my TWOC (catheter out) tomorrow so hopefully things will move forward soon.
The whole point of the original post was to raise awareness and encourage guys of a certain age to get tested and it seems to have achieved that:)
