A member asked:
I suspect i may hav prostatitis as i've been urinatin much more frequently for quite a few months now. could it possibly be prostrate cancer?

Highly unlikely,,: It's highly unlikely that it's prostate cancer. This takes a long time to develop and is seen in increasingly older men like 50s and up. You should see your doctor anyway as this can be due to a possible infection and/or std and it would be good to clear it up or at least be sure nothing is there. Best of luck.

Unlikely: Prostate cancer doesn't occur in 20 year olds so you're ok from that perspective. However, frequent urination could be from bladder or prostate infection, diabetes, or bladder dysfunction. See your primary care doctor for some easy blood and urine tests.
