Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / April 2006Question re: enlarged prostate
One of the questions that I failed to find an answer to was related to knowing whether or not a person has an enlarged prostate gland. For example, if some man that was 65 years old drunk two glasses of water and did not urinate for 8 hours or more hours--could that be a sign of an enlarged prostate gland?

I'm going to download the list mentioned in the prior post. Jason SignatureNEWSGROUP SUBSCRIBERS MOTTO We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice.

If he often pees six times in 8 hours, then it is possible he has a prostate big enough to interfere with urination. Symptoms of enlarged prostate: see http://tinyurl.com/h9hkt.

I now avoid salt since I retain it. Jason SignatureNEWSGROUP SUBSCRIBERS MOTTO We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice.

BPH (or any kind of blockage) usually will result in an urge feeling, and difficulty urinating, along with possible retention. Your question is way too general, and why the man didn't urinate for 8 hours could be caused by a whole bunch of things (eg kidney problems - and you said you have kidney problems in your other post). A simple digital exam is the easiest way for a doc to guess if you have an enlarged prostate, but like "chockman" pointed out in your other post, that is a variable type thing (ie a person can have a small prostate with blockage, or a larger prostate with no blockage).

It seems that any foods that have excess amounts of salt cause it to happen. I now only eat salads at restaurants and carry my olive oil (no salt) with me into restaurants since I have no control on how much salt the cook makes use of in regular food.
