Guest guest Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Most men over 50 have an enlarged prostate. Me too. When I started to get up a couple of times a night I thought the problem was reaching critical mass. One night I didn't get up. Then another night. And another. What changed was I started using a CPAP machine as I was diagnosed with sleep apnea -- a common CMT problem as often the diaphragm is compromised. When I was wakened from sleep by apnea issues, I would have an urge to urinate. I blamed the urge to urinate for waking me up. It wasn't. I was running out of air. Now I sleep 7-9 hours without the nocturnal trips. Before having any treatment/medication for prostate issues, I recommend having a sleep test. A little more air may banish prostate symptoms.
