Hi, not a frequent poster in this forum but I lurk here often.
I'd like your advise on this: I'm 62, avid cyclist (about 12-14,000 kms a year). 1 month ago I started to feel a slight, diffuse pain in the testicles/perineal zone. Went to an urologist MD, he didn't give the pain much importance, said it'll probably go away by itself (it did), but had me do some tests (urine flow test, bladder/prostate ecography, prostate specific antigen). Turns out I have a benign enlarged prostate (usual for my age he said) and he told me to avoid alcohol, coffee and hot spices and to use a saddle with a cut-out and "ease off" some on cycling, and come see him again in 1 year unless I had any new symptoms.
I think he's a good professional, but hasn't any experience with cyclists/bicycling. Probably many of you have experienced this.Your opinions will be welcome!
