HELP!! i wake up 5 times every night!!!!

[biggun]

i am actually posting this for my dad, he constantly complains that he can't get a good nights sleep because he wakes up every few hours having to use the restroom. i am pretty sure this is caused by an enlarged prostate wich would make sense considering he is 50 years old, i have him on saw pallmetto, but he says that doesn't help this problem. does anyone have suggestions. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Hard to say bro, but there really isnt much to do tonight.

Dont drink so much water in the afternoon/night so he doesnt have to get up so often. Probably is an enlarged prostate, but it could be other things too like a urinary tract infection.

from what ive have heard enlarged prostate dose make your winner drip but not necessary make you have to pee more often

Umm dude, why are you even asking us? Call your friggin doctor! It's not like your dad wakes up 5 times a night because he feels like he doesn't have enough muscle mass - for that come to us. Otherwise, call your doc.

Geeezzz!

Tell him to keep an empty 2-liter near the bed and piss in that. That's what I do so I don't have to walk to the bathroom every f@ckin hour!!

proscar. Go to a doc.

thanks for the replies guys, i was hoping someone on here maybe had the same problem and knew of a supplement that helped. i had already been trying to convince him to get to a doctor but he doesn't seem to thrilled about the idea. i'll get him there soon.

There's a blood test he can take for prostate examination (PSA I think). Have him go to the doctor and let them prick his finger.

Could very well be a blood sugar problem. Frequent urination is a very common symptom of diabetes. Although Ihope this is not the reason. When he urinates at night, does everything come out alright, or is it slow?

 

[musclebrains]

It's almost certainly the usual prostate enlargement with age, unless he has other symptoms that might suggest an infection.

How long has he been on the SPalmetto? It doesn't work overnight. Is he using an EXTRACT in a standardized formula?

Nonetheless, he should get an exam.
