I heard almost all men have prostate problems at some time, does anyone know how soon is it common to start.

I just turned 40 myself, and I might be having some small issues but unsure and wonder if it just goes with being 40. I just had an exam a few years back and things were fine then.

What I have noticed is..

Rarely I get a small tightning discomfort at the base of the scrotum when I Urinate.
Ocasionally upon a rare orgasm, it will become a intense painful throbbing
at the base of the scrotum that I can 't stop and have to wait out, not a fun time. (this is rare though, like maybe twice a year)
I have noticed a huge decrease in my sex drive, but that could be just age
My testicles tend to ache a bit out of the blue

But other than that,

I do not get any blood in my urine or semen
I normally don't have any trouble passing Urine
I don't get the need to urinate most get I hear

The reason I don't think its serious is because I had mine checked about three years back and it was fine then.

Also I noticed something odd, I was put on antibiotics a bit back because I was ill for something else, and my symptoms for this problem went away, I mean everything, I thought great, I must have had a infection.

But months later it came back, recently I went back on some antibiotics for a sty in my eye, and low and behold the symptoms cleared up again. Hmmm, now I wonder if I wait it out will it come back again.

Part of me is realizing this may be me getting old, LOL, well I guess I will have to live with my pipes getting a bit rusty.

I am trying to be an optimist, I mentioned it to my wife and asked her if she thought I should see the doc. She told me many men get discomfort as they age and the prostrate enlargens and says there are vitamins I can take. Maybe thats the route I need to take. She said it might be wise to try the vitamins first then if that doesn't work see the Doc. Since this is less embarrasing, it appeals to me most.
