my issue is a weaker stream and after i go, i sometimes feel like i have a tad left and then end up going again in about 15 minutes.
i may get the Rezum done just to...
His symptoms were a weak urin stream , frequent urination and also not fully emptying his bladder. his bladder is permanantly stretched because he waited too long to get bph treatment.
A WEAK urine stream is a huge sign that you have prostate issues even if a Dr says your prostate isnt very...
A close friend who is 62 years old had the Rezum procedure. He said he is peeing like a 16 year old ! He said his stream is MUCH stronger. He is still retaining urine because his bladder is stretched due to him waiting too long to address his BPH issues. That said, he is extremely happy with the...
A guy at my gym about 58 years old had it done about 6 months ago. I dont know him very well so I couldnt ask too many questions. He said he was very happy with it and the difference is dramatic. Prior to having it done he said he felt as if someone was squeezing his prostate and then after the...
Using testsosterone increases DHT which can enlarge the prostate. As your prostate enlarges, your psa rises with it. As we age, our prostate enlarges and psa gradually rises ( to a degree ). If your psa is normally 1.5 and after a year on trt it goes up to 2.2, that may warrant further testing...
3 new BPH therapies I have recently read about.
1) aquablation ( this seems like the best )
2) iTind procedure
3) butterfly bph therapy. They are conducting studies now.
all 3 of these are very effective and fully preserve sexual function.
Thanks Vince

The fact that it affected your prostate probably means it actually works.
It seems like a natural way to reduce prostate size..
Did you have any prostate surgery for BPH ? Any treatments?
My urologist noticed i have been retaining a little urine so in conjunction with flomax which I have been taking, he gave me 2 bottles of saw palmetto gel caps at NO charge. He says it works. Any opinion or experience?
The gel will increase DHT a lot and that increases prostate size.
1)did Rexum work well? Increase the force of urine stream?
2) did you maintain ejaculation?
3) any pain during the procedure or after?
i use flomax and get decent results. my friend uses flomax at night and tadalifil during the...
I have bph and my psa is .6 as well. It went to .7 once but usually steady at .6.
You have all the symptoms of bph. Another tell tale sign is when you urinate you always feel as if there is one more drop left but you just cant squirt it out. 10-15 minutes later you go again.
flomax, rapaflo work...
