Those nightly bathroom visits disturbs the sleeping, and continuously disrupted nightly sleep has serious health effects on both the body and the brain.

Some fellows had TURP surgery and that had unfortunately several bad side effects which resulted in incontinence, that is to say losing control of urination, a shocking disaster indeed.

In order to avoid any surgery with possible site effects It would be beneficial to receive from others on this forum advice on medication, supplements, nutrition, type of exercise, etc ... that have been effective on enlarged prostate symptoms.
