[QUOTE="TRicker, post: 227707, member: 42831"] [USER=44042]@ziggy256[/USER] I've had very similar symptoms without having an enlarged prostate. I've had PSA's from .9 up to 1.7 (on higher doses of testosterone), and I am 46. I've had a couple DRE's in the past few years, and recently had a cystoscopy. I'll probably never do a cystoscopy again...it hurt like a mo-f'er, but it was over in about 90 seconds. My urologist said I had the prostate of a 12 year old, and the cystoscopy showed that I had a tight upper urinary sphincter. I thought for sure I had bph, but that wasn't the case. The same symptoms can be from a tight pelvic floor, which can be cause by stress, heavy lifting sessions, or just involuntary tightening. There were a few stressful times in the past where my dick actually hurt, I pee'd every 30 minutes, and couldn't sleep because I had to keep going to the bathroom. I thought maybe it was prostatitis, but antibiotics didn't do anything. After a few weeks, it just went away. From time to time, I still get the nighttime urgency and weaker stream, but it's usually a result from stress. My advice, get the DRE if you feel you need it, but I wouldn't stress out about it, because stress just made my symptoms worse. For a few weeks I was prescribed some xanax and an overactive bladder med just to calm things down, which really helped. [/QUOTE]
