[QUOTE="Paco Cale, post: 50713, member: 49"] This perfectly illustrates my point. One urologist says one thing and another one says something completely different, at least this is how I read it. Dr Rotman may be a more conservative doctor who practice what he learned, and believes. How do we know when we now have access to so much information and we read so much contradicting reports for renowned specialists. I know urologists that the first thing they do is a biopsy and from there, place you on the conveyor for many more to come. I digged through the preventative task force site looking for information and explanation. Doing so, i stumbled on a case where the man went through 11 biopsies before being considered "clean". Needless to say he suffers incontinence and ED. I just watched this video from Dr Morgentaler who apparently is world renowned. In his video, he presented and explained several [B]RECENT[/B] case studies, which to me, carried a completely different set of information. It seems, once again, there are different school of thoughts which is really scary and needs to be corrected. If someone or some organization setup a rule, they have to make sure this is "the" rule to follow and that, across the board. This is why i am seeking different professional point of view and if possible, explanations. I consider we have the right to know what is the latest, newest clinical information. Equipped with this knowledge men could stop worrying or make better decision or not let anyone place them on the biopsy conveyor without questioning. Just a few years back, Saw Palmetto was a God sent. Today... not so much. DHT is the enemy, today... it depends. One day i had a PSA reading of 5.7. The same day i had a result i asked to have the test done again. Two days later i found out it went down 3 points. In less then a week between both blood draws and no explanation were provided but this is enough for many urologists to poke your prostate unnecessarily. I am simply seeking knowledge due to being tired of reading conflicting studies, or having urologist being more concerned by my hematocrit or creatinine then my psa. AFter my urologist retired, i went on a quest to find a good specialist. i drove several times to Miami (3 hours one way) to be received like a dog in a bowling alley because i was on TRT.
