My Prostate Feels Huge, Or At least Something Down there is

Hi Everyone,

This is a strange one as propecia is meant to reduce the size of your prostate, but it seems as though mine is bigger. It’s as if, as one guy said a few years ago, as if a “golf ball is stuffed down there”. This isn’t a huge deal, I’ve made it through 4 and a half years with it, but still. It becomes much more pronounced when I have an erection, and causes minor discomfort. I should say I’m only 23 so this isn’t natural.

I’m very close to actually going to the doctor and getting the finger test and everything, although I’ve put this off for years. I am on some level concerned that this may be impacting on my erection, although my erection is alright-ish when it’s good.

Finally, maybe it’s a pelvic floor thing? Although i doubt it as its right on the perineum and basically behind my balls.

Cheers

I’m not sure if anyone on this site would be able to effectively diagnose what you are feeling. Although doctors appear to still be in the dark regarding the many things not listed that propecia does in fact cause, I would go to the doctor with your concerns and get it out the way. Although you’re not a doctor, have you tried inserting a lubricated finger yourself to see if anything feels not as it should?
