Suggest Treatment For An Enlarged Prostate
Question: Hi , I am a 67year old male. 5'11, 155lbs, do yoga, short triathalons, eat healthy. Have a healthy heart, good blood pressure and cholesterol numbers. Two weeks ago, I started taking a supplement to reduce wrinkled skin, and 2 days later, lost my erection. Previously, over the course of my life, I could keep an erection for as long as I wanted, for hours at a time. I am happily married and sexually active. I have had an enlarged prostate for the last 20 years, which hasn't affected my erections. I stopped taking those pills for my skin as soon as I saw the problem. Since then, my erection has returned a couple of times, for a few minutes or a bit more. Should I go to my urologist? Regular doctor (internist)? Thanks so much for your time!
