Its also possible that the swollen prostate is "irreversable" so just stopping steroids might not make the problem go away. He might need something inserted up the penis that inflates a balloon and opens up the pee way so to speak, this can help if he is having too many problems. Best to go see a doctor because prostate problems including cancer is "as common" on men as breast cancer is on women and its the most likely cancer men can get of all.
I also was told by a doctor that "not ejaculating" enough over your life time helps encourage prostate enlargement. Yep, when your wife doesnt want to give you a piece for a couple weeks at a time, she is damaging your health! Its a good idea for men to make sure if they dont have a girlfriend or the wife is being frigid, you should jack off and do this all your life. Shouldnt go more then 3 or 4 days at a time without shooting the goo.
