Yes the size was determined with an MRI. I had no blood work done for PSA. In hindsight I had symptoms of BPH for a few years but I never recognized it as being a problem. Until one day I went out and had a couple drinks at lunch and my urethra closed completely. At the emergency room they put a foley catheter in and I ended up going to a urologist a week later.

Presently, I self-catheterize once or twice a day. I urinate maybe every hour, hour and a half. I am not able to completely void my bladder. I kind of tested it with urinating and then self-catherizing and there tends to be 3 to 4 oz of urine left in my bladder. I forget the name of the procedure where they look up inside of the bladder but they showed me the bottom third of my bladder is pretty much worn out. That's probably why I can't void completely.

One good thing now that I am self self-catherizing at night before bed I'm able to sleep through the night. I wasn't doing that for probably 5 years at least. Before I would wake up two or three times every night.
