Hi, I just had a browse on Amazon and it's a bit overwhelming - so many books out there and it's not that easy to get info about what edition you'd be buying etc. I'm looking for info about diet, lifestyle, exercises to address enlarged prostate (ie not cancer). Any recommendations gratefully received. 

  • Hi  . Nice to hear from you again. I hope your treatment went well. I can't really help with your question, but maybe some of the guys in the prostate group may have some suggestions. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

  • Hello rily, that's so nice that you remember me. I remember you too. My last two cystoscopies were all clear, thank you for asking. So happy about that. Next one on is 20th Sept so I am gearing up for that. I think the BCG treatment has enlarged my prostate. Got all the main symptoms anyway. Didn't know there was a dedicated prostate group - I'll take a look. I hope you too are as well as any of us here can hope to be. xx

  • Hi  . Good to know things are going well for you. When I was first diagnosed ten years ago, I was told I had an enlarged prostate. Thankfully, it has never caused me any problems and it has not been mentioned since. Hope all goes well for you. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

    Interestingly I am In a somewhat similar situation with an enlarged prostate which I put down to all the BCG treatments & cystoscopies so far. This was not originally highlighted as a potential side effect. This ignores biopsy & TURBT operations. That’s quite a lot invasions down urethra  and bladder hence enlarged prostate.

  • My leucocyte count is always high - I think because of an inflamed urethra - suspect that's a factor too. I wonder if our enlarged prostates will improve over time if the frequency of trans-utheral interventions decreases?
