Talking to Your Doctor

For many men, talking about prostate problems can be difficult. But when speaking to your doctor about a common condition like Enlarging Prostate, there’s no reason to be embarrassed. Remember, half of men over 50 suffer from an enlarging prostate. You're not alone.

The more you know about the condition and its causes, the easier it will be to begin getting the proper treatment to help soothe some of the bothersome symptoms. A good way to start a dialogue with your doctor is to bring the results of your Prostate Health Assessment to your next doctor’s appointment. Another helpful tool when talking to your doctor, is a prostate health diary describing your symptoms.

If you want to avoid future complications, your doctor may find that symptom improvement alone is not enough. You may require a therapy that treats the cause of the problem and the symptoms at the same time.
