Men: Do you have to pee in the middle of the night?

[Anonymous]

My DH is almost 50 and has to pee in the middle of the night most nights, sometimes a couple of times.

His doctor (who is excellent and thorough) did not seem alarmed. Is this typical for anyone else?

Yes. And I wish it was only a couple of times. Dr. did not seem alarmed also.

Yes, since I was about 35.

Yep enlarged prostate happens as men age. Getting old sucks

at least once, usually 2x, sometime more. Started in my mid-40's. Now, if I ever turn over and wake up, I go to the bathroom, because it saves me waking up later.

Kegels. Great side benefits too.

Nope. I'm 51 and still have not had that issue yet (knock on wood). I know it happens to a lot of guys our age, but not me yet.

Just turned 50, and not yet.

Get his PSA checked. My dad was up at night a lot and the doctor wasn't phased. A couple of years later he was diagnosed with prostate cancer which, unfortunately in his case unlike most, is quite aggressive.

Thanks for all the replies... especially the PSA one.

53, at most once a night but not always.

I don't think they do PSA's anymore. Or, they don't see it the same way anymore.
