The above is a question my husband is asked every year at his physical. He hasn't tried but he supposes he can.
There is a rule of thumb about prostate problems: the percentage of men who have them is numerically equal to their age. So at 60, chances are he has them..but he doesn't.
A long time ago I was asked if I had frequent urination (one of the many symptoms of Graves' Disease). I asked the young doctor to define what that meant. He amended the question to whether I ever had to get up at night. Doesn't everyone?
No. That's not normal. (Do they ever say what is normal in med school/)
But he was very young. I knew plenty of people who got up without having Graves' Disease.
