Is there something wrong with my prostate?!
Question: I am 18 and turning 19 in 2 months. My dad has had prostate cancer twice in the past year and my dads brother (my uncle) died from prostate cancer a few years ago. For a few months now I have been having to urinate at least 2 times every hour. I used to be able to hold it for hours on end. I do not know if i have an enlarged prostate or is there possibly something wrong with it?

bonus points for you for understanding a genetic link for prostate problems and for not ignoring the urination. go to a doctor and let him decide on what tests to run. good luck
Wow, that's really way too often. Go to your doctor for this one. Could be a lot of things.
