Prostate problems

[milodon]

I was basically sterile at age 29 from 4 years of driving 3500-4000km a week, constant prostatitis with everything that comes with it. Quit driving, first son was born a year later, although had been trying without a result for a couple of years by then. Second one soon followed.

Got back to driving a few years later and albeit was a much easier job, the numb pain while sitting returned. Got out of driving again a few months back, can't really see it as something I could be doing until retirement healthwise. Sitting affects some more than others, unfortunately I fall into the "more" category.

Had blood tests as peeing a lot & doctor said at 59 it could be prostrate , tests came back with a psa of 8 , according to doctor it should be 3 , doctor got me down within hour for finger up bum check , found hard spot / raised & thinks I’ve had it for while , getting me appointment at hospital in next 2 weeks , head is everywhere , thinking the worst & worried sick about mrs on her own & daughter
I always thought I was the strong type but this has really knocked the stuffing out of me ,you can’t turn the clock back but wish I’d done something 2 years ago when all this started
Can only reiterate what others say , don’t wait / ignore symptoms & get it checked
Nb I’ve had nothing other than peeing a lot at times , others fine , no blood in pee etc so if your peeing a lot get it checked

I was sure doctor said i would be seen at hospital in next 2 weeks as deemed a urgent medical issue , letter today says consultation will be by phone and has to be done by the 14 th of this month , so baffled by this as I’d of thought the doctor would of passed all information onto consultant , can’t see what I can tell them the doctor hasn’t in his notes
Then 2 hrs later a phone call from doctors saying doctor needs to see me due to my test result , explained I’d already seen doctor & id been referred to hospital , no this test is showing a abnormal level of hemoglobene ,you need to speak to the doctor about diabetic
Bloody hell if it doesn’t rain it pisses down , I’d always put the peeing a lot down to diabetis as it had come up on my Medical , high sugar level in pee , but a fasting test always came back clear , which is why I never thought of anything like prostrate .
Wish I’d never had cheap medical 2yrs ago when doc said are you diabetic , don’t know , no then , all done in mins , if I’d of had a proper medical at my doctors this all could of been picked up a lot earlier maybe
Diabetis can be treated but prostrate has me really worried , any medical issues don’t be like me get straight in at doctors

Drop the coffee and see what happens then. For all I know, I'm never touching the crap again.
