I have BPH. Flowmax everyday and up until recently the Finasteride also. I stopped taking Finasteride to see if my horrible back ache (at night) would lessen. It did so I no longer take the Finasteride. I see now I’m going to have to begin taking it due to repeated nighttime trips to the bathroom and more difficulty (slow stream). So far I haven’t found what I think is a reasonable urologist. They immediately want to perform a procedure-surgery and act dismissive and pissed off when I’ve told them I’d like to avoid procedure-surgery. Subsequent appoints to both Urologists resulted in seeing a nurse because they had written me off.
One of them did all these “tests” to see if I was a “candidate for a procedure”. This turned out to be a young lady shaving my bung hole, inserting a probe, and manually striking my donk with a metal rod while watching a scope. She said it was to see if everything was “responding” correctly. I told her to stop. I left and never came back. It was a demeaning process for her and me and I really think this Urologist was drumming up some fictions procedure to charge my insurance to include putting me in my place. Go ahead and call me stupid. Shaving your bung hole by a 25 year old women who then is holding your donk and hitting it with a metal probe???!!! That’s just plain torture and the crap bad dreams are made of. What good did that do other than him trying to be a jerk because I wouldn’t let him do a procedure. That hair growing back in had its own medical issues. Don’t get hot outside working! Too much info here but some of these “Urologist “ are stone cold perverted freaks.
Edit: I wondered what men did 100 years ago to include other cultures? There are some very old Asian men who more than likely have this issue. What works for them? Green tea? Herbs? Some form of stretching-Yoga?
We can’t all need invasive surgeries to correct what must be an issue due to aging. Did old men just die because of this? I’m not referring to cancer but age related enlargement of our prostate. There has to be a more natural approach. I realize there are all manner of blended herbal supplements on the market in the US but personally I’m of the opinion it’s made to sale, not actually work. I’d really like to hear from older guys that have found relief other than procedures and prescribed meds.
