A member asked:
I was wondering is caffeine linked to enlarged prostate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No,...: Caffeine irritates the bladder and may tighten the bladder opening, resulting in more frequency, slower urine flow than before, but doesn't cause prostate enlargement. Such voiding change is directly related with its effect on prostate urethra. So, behavioral modification including ridding coffee & caffeine-related drink is an essential part of regimen of treating prostate-related symptoms.
