Ten years is a long time to suffer
I read about a man in Utah, Steve Howlett, who lived with an enlarged prostate for ten years before he treated it.
Ten years of broken sleep. Ten years of knowing where every toilet was. Ten years of "it is just my age." His family went through it with him. They know it was hard, and like him the silence around the prostate kept them from realizing there were solutions. Ten years - it is a long time.
He finally had a laser procedure at University of Utah Health and got his quality of life back. And my first thought was not about the procedure. It was about the ten years he spent putting up with it.
I did the same thing in my own way - I had no idea I had a prostate issue until someone else pointed it out. We are good at explaining away the slow stuff. It just feels like getting older, and sometimes it is.
But if the prostate was ok to talk about then less people would have to wait 10 years. Because I guarantee Steve is not the only man out there who is suffering because they don't know.
So let me ask you straight: what have you been quietly putting up with and calling normal? Getting up at night? A weaker stream? No judgement here - I had the same problem, until a friend helped me.
Is there a man in your life who could use this information? Could you raise awareness?

Prostate awareness for men and women. The prostate does not belong in the shadows with no understanding. Awareness is the key.
