Enlarged prostate searches surge

Interesting...
1. I didn't realise public awareness of the condition was so bad
2. Isn't it rather late in life for Charlie to have the symptoms?
3. Why doesn't he just take pills like the rest of us?
4. What does [i]They’re over there[/i] mean?

3. Why doesn’t he just take pills like the rest of us?

I can't imagine anyone volunteering for the procedure.......it sounds eye-watering

See Kingy does have a purpose.

Surge being the operative word for when Charlie gets to take a leak post procedure

What does They’re over there mean?

Just my purile, infantile sense of humour. BBC strapline says "Enlarged prostate searches surge". You know, as in more people are looking for enlarged prostates. Oh never mind.

I do not want a "surge" when my prostate is being checked thank you very much 🙂

Problems with the royal Charlie.

1) same way testicular cancer and cervical cancer, people don’t wan to know and think they’ll be fine.

2) Maybe it’s because we’ve only heard this time. 

3) Maybe he has or it’s beyond that. 

Well, if you search 'prostate enlargement statistic', the first information you get from the search is:

"But because enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition that affects men as they age, it's important to know the facts. About 50% of men between the ages of 51 and 60 have BPH, and that number jumps to 70% among men aged 60 to 69 and around 80% of men over 70 years of age."

My 53 yo chum has just had a laser re-bore due to this.
