One for the men...

I have an enlarged prostate and my urine flowrate is reduced as a result.

As many of you will know when in AF we often need to pop to the loo almost every 2 minutes.

I'm having an AF episode now (hoping to back to nsr soon!) and I've noticed that, on my many frequent visits, my flowrate is greatly increased. As if the prostate is not restricting flow.

Any other men see this?

Sorry can't help you with that as no prostate . As I always say I have a straight through exhaust. No stage fright, no delays five seconds and gone. Makes for very fast pit stops.

I have an enlarged prostate but AF doesn't affect the need to urinate or the amount. That said, my AF kicks in during 12km sessions on a rowing machine.
