Fast forward to middle age: From around age thirty I lived in some situations of extreme cold, heat and dehydration. The extreme cold caused me to have to urinate more often. It seems to have triggered something in my system. So I tried to stop it by drinking less water and as a consequence I became dehydrated. Dehydration, in turn, caused me to have occasional spells of dizziness. These were bad dizzy spells where everything would be spinning around.
It took me several years to figure out that drinking less water was causing my dizzy spells and sometimes lower back issues. So I learned it was better to drink plenty of water, even if I had to get up 2, 3 or 4 times during the night. This is the way it was going in my 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. So it wasn't the result of an enlarged prostate to begin with, it was an overactive bladder and the cold made it worse.
So why am concerned about prostate issues? To be continued:
