ridge on prostate

Turtle, it's likely that the size of your prostate is what's causing you to wake up at night to pee. It is common, and natural, for that to happen, as we age.
What does your urologist say? And how do you know the ridge is not due to prostate cancer? Not saying it is, at all, just curious, you obviously had a reason for saying it's not.

A urologist has just found a ridge on my prostate but declined to diagnose it, in my opinion because he didn't feel the need to do any tests, since my PSA is 1.1. He said if the PSA were higher, he would think about 'something else', but not with a 1.1. He said he'd see me in a year, so he didn't seem very concerned. (I figure if he, a partner in the practice and one of the best urologists peer-reviewed in the area) says so, I shouldn't worry. But the lack of info on 'ridges' still makes me anxious. I have only found your post on ridges, and it was great to hear yours was benign, and I hope mine is, too. Did your urologist say anything about ridges in general, e.g., 'usually benign', sometimes malignant, etc.? I'm getting a second opinion on April 10, but would like, I think, to know more before that.
