Enlarged Prostate Support Group

Send me a message if you want tips I've used to help with BPH. I've had an enlarged prostate for 20 or more years now.

Greetings BH sufferer here also.

I have BPH for at least 10 years and have been using saw palmetto & zinc for many years.T years ago I was given terazosin and it worked for a while but now has very little effect. I am seeing a urologist next week and want to see what he recomends. I think it is time to think about turp or some sort of laser treatment to open up the prostate blockage. I'tired of getting up 4 or more times a nite and standing at the toilet waiting for it to dribble out. Anyone having experience with any of these proceedures let me know.

I've been using 10 mg terazosin before bedtime for many years with moderate success. I've had BPH for 25 or more years. I get up every three hours at night. I also have been taking a long time "Prostate Support" that I order on line from NOW.(http://www.supervits.com/index.html)It has vitamin B-6, zinc, saw palmetto, stinging nettles, pygeum africanum bark extract, pumpkin seed oil, and lycopene. I take one in the morning and one at night. What I have taken for about a year now is Avodart, which actually shrinks the prostate. This works really well, but could have some side effects, such as lessened libido and semen production, though. The last one has helped me the most. Good luck and do some research on line on your own before you go to urologist.

Ok, where did everyone disappear to again?

You should consider the possibility that turp or lazer treatment may only be a temporary solution and may grow back.
