I lift weights at least 3X a week, and still get the GD 0400 wake up and maybe get back to sleep thing.

Almost never sleep through that 0400 thing, unless I am dehydrated enough to not have to wake and piss.

What are you taking to help with your prostate?

I wish I could sleep longer, but six hours is what I average.

I despise exercise. Reminds me of the dreaded gym classes in school. Doc says my 30+ round-trips up/down stairs help. Not ideal, but it’s something.

I recall that disco was good exercise, and fun — not gym-esque.

It sounds like you have benign prostate enlargement, which is extremely common as we age. It presses against the bladder and can make urinating more difficult.

If this is what you have, may want to consider supplements like nettle root extract, pygeum, rye pollen extract, beta-sitosterol, and/or pumpkin seed oil.

Other options could include mangosteen powder, moringa powder, and saw palmetto.

There are plenty of health sites that can tell you more. I can say I didn't have success with the saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil supplements I tried. I haven't trued rye pollen extract, but a loynof men have spoken very well of it.

The rest I have used and found helpful enough to never need prescriptions of any sort. There are options to reduce the prostate size, and the two best current options appear to be water ablation (Aquablation) and injection of tiny spheres over an afternoon via X-ray, which amazingly shrinks your prostate by about 1/3 over the next several weeks, and you don't have a hospital stay or general anesthesia. It simply works by blocking blood flow, starving tissue, which your body removes on its own.
