I was referred to a urologist a few years ago the whole thing felt very strongly like kick backs. It could be you reach a certain age they feel a chunk of your money needs to be spent on urologists. I'd like to find out how many men who are a bit older do NOT have an enlarged prostate. I'd guess it was about half. But I'm not telling you to not go see a Doc. I'm saying if you feel like you are getting caught up in a money making machine with negative not positive effects then get a second opinion or see what the world is like with a more simplified approach.
