Question : Hello - I am a male aged 65. Have had a radical prostectomy over 10 years ago. No signs of any recurrence at last exam a year or so ago. I am getting up several times a night to urinate and probably go about 12 -15 times a day. Weight is 150, XXXXXXX 5'9 no evidence of pre diabetes or diabetes at last exam. Should I go see a urologist?
