See that makes me think I should get checked out based on how often I seem to need to piss.

Right well now it's determined it's okay to have a joke, the truth is emptying ones balls regularly is actually a really good way of preventing this (fact). The bad news is most men are married. The good news is most men are wankers.
Very first sign is ache in the lower part of your back, which often goes unnoticed.
If you're pissing all the time that is a sign, unless you've always been like that. Or unless of cause you're just drinking loads or are cold.

Take a Pumpkin Seed Oil supplement - will cut your pissing right down.

I started taking these about a month ago mate and they have made a huge difference but I still have the odd day when I piss loads.

A lot of men die without knowing they even had it, the research and knowledge these days is unbelievable.

Yes mate. Similar results here. I am sleeping much better since I started taking them.

My Dad had something similar in his early 80s. We were told not to worry it wasn't going to be fatal - but the Parkinson's would be! Charming way of putting it.
Was going to like that but it didn't seem appropriate

Very reassuring from a local piss pot with absolutely no medical experience at all.

I'm off for a scan and biopsy on Monday. Had the finger test at my GP's and all was well but the blood test came back a bit high. Can't say I'm not a bit worried but I suppose if it is anything bad we'll have caught it early enough (I'm 59).
Alan Bennett has a good story about the DRE (digital rectal examination). He's lying curled up on the couch with the doctor's finger having a good root around. "Well, there's nothing of interest up here," says the doctor from behind him, "but it's always nice to see you."

@janey Prostate cancer is often viewed in relative terms. Pretty much all men at 79 will have what would be considered prostate cancer if it was presented in a 40 year old. The prostate changes around the age of 30 and then starts to get bigger slowly over time. I had mine checked with a camera up the todger at the age of 29, and they told me at that point I had a lot of prostate for my age, so I have to keep an eye on it.
Your dad is at the sort of age where if that growing has been going on for some time, there might be some temporary problems that warrant investigation, and it is worth checking if there is any malignancy that could spread elsewhere. When you are younger you can get infections of the prostate and it is an irritation, but when you are older, inflammation of the prostate can be enough for it to swell and block the pipes that let you urinate. That is why when you go into a urology ward you will often see a few old men who have been brought in to have catheters fitted because they are simply unable to go.
Sometimes the natural growth of the prostate is enough that it in itself blocks the pipe, and they have to have some form of intervention to reduce the amount of benign material that is there. In the past they would often remove it entirely, which had an impact on impotence and urinary incontinence. In the last few years there has been a move towards methods that reduce size of the prostate. They have a way they can blast and burn away the prostate with electrical charges. Even where there is cancer they have methods where they can often avoid radical surgical intervention.

I think the problem with most people with prostate issues is that they put off going to the doctor. Getting referred for the scan is the best next step. When he goes he will most likely find that he will be in a waiting room of people the same age with similar issues. If he is having a camera up the todger it will be a couple of minutes of discomfort for them to get a very good picture of what is happening.
I think he's gone to the doctor quite quickly, and he has his scan 8th March so at least we don't have to wait too long
