[QUOTE="winglets, post: 1678102, member: 455061"] I finally had a DRE and to my surprise, the doctor said it was slightly enlarged however it was very smooth and normal in that regard. It shocked me because I didn't expect someone my age to have this but the doctor wasn't overly concerned about it and said this can happen and it's nothing hugely to worry about. Nevertheless it's got me really anxious now. He gave me a PSA form so I'm going to go and get that done. I realise that prostate enlargement is a benign condition and there is no link to cancer but I don't know, I'm a little worried. Am I right in thinking that the smoothness and surface/texture of the prostate is more important than the actual size? He thinks that my symptoms are more likely due to a slight over-active bladder than anything else. Also I should mention in relation to the enlarged prostate and a reason why possibly it could be in my case is that I have masturbated on average once a day since I was around 13/14 years of age. Now that is quite alot of masturbation and I know this has a connection with your prostate right? Is there any connection with prostate enlargement and masturbation? Also on the morning of the DRE I had masturbated about an hour/1.5 hours before it so I don't know if that too had an effect. [/QUOTE]
