I have an enlarged prostate. I have seen the urologist and take pills for that but they do not resolve the issue. I am retaining water and having other problems. I was hoping as I got thinner this would get better but so far no luck.

Any guys out there deal with this?

Obviously I have not had prostate trouble, but wanted to let you know that low albumin and potassium can cause edema. Have you has these levels checked?

 I am taking potassium on my own to help with cramps. I just had labwork today, looking at the results the doc shared with me from the last labs, potassium / albumin were not mentioned and truthfully I need to google albumin. :-)

 OK from what I saw on google albumin refers to protein. Mine was 7.0 on last lab and they consider that perfect.
