Okay here's my problem: I'm 36 years old, have polycystic kidney disease and a history of prostatitis (4 instances all mild). For the last three weeks I've been having prostatitis symptoms again (perineal pain, burning after urination, penile and testicular pain) Went to the urologist a week ago and found my prostate to be roughly 2.5 times normal size. Diagnosed with bph and prescribed proscar. My question is isn't it a little unlikely to have this kind of enlargement this soon? I've taken two doses of the proscar couldn't get an erection so I discontinued use. Doctor currently has me on antibiotics but all I want is relief. I refuse to be 36 and non-functional sexually. Are there any other options? I'm freaking out and very depressed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Suggest Treatment For Poly Cystic Kidney Disease
Hi, Prostate hypertrophy is not related to your kidney condition and may be due to prostatitis. You can continue antibiotics and get a PSA done after one week. If PSA is elevated after antibiotic therapy, it is better to go for a prostate biopsy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
