The Prostate Center: Prostate Enlargement
Prostate is a male gland needed for reproductive functions, it produces fluid used for sperm transport for the purpose of ejaculation. Prostate can grow slowly and affect urinary tract causing problems, this affects many men and the risk gets increased with age. Prostate enlargement also causes bladder problems and related complications.
Does an enlarged prostate help improve sexual stamina?
I haven’t had it checked yet, but I think I have and enlarged prostate.
I recently started constantly feeling a slight sense of pressure right there on the spot where the prostate is.
On the exact same day that I noticed this discomfort in the prostate area, I started having unusually hard erections.
My morning erections have been just like the ones I used to have when I was 18.
Have not been taking any drugs, viagra, steroids or bodybuilding supplements of any kind.
If this is the side effect of having an enlarged prostate, then I think I will be very happy living with the slight discomfort and irregular urination that this condition is known for.
Will be going to the doc ofcourse, but just wondering if others have experienced something like this also?
An enlarged prostate does not improve sexual stamina. This is because the enlarged prostate has no impact on blood flowing in or out of the penis. What you are experiencing is a reaction that the penis sometimes gets hard when the bladder is very full. Since the enlarged prostate makes it more difficult to empty the bladder, you are getting hard more easily. But you will orgasm just as fast as before, so your sexual stamina will be unchanged.
Separately, most men cannot feel anything from an enlarged prostate, outside of the problem with urinating. Since you feel something, go to doctor and get it checked out.
An enlarged prostate is a very common problem in men over 50. Symptoms of an enlarged prostate include decrease in urinary flow, increase in urinary frequency, urgency, and feelings of incomplete bladder emptying. Treatment options range from behavioral modification, to medications, and sometimes minimally invasive surgical intervention.
