What do you know about using ethanol injections for BPH? Local TV had a story about shrinking prostate enough to decrease night time trips to the bathroom. Aner: great contribution to this newsgroup. Thank you. Your post was the first I heard of this. I then Googled: "ethanol injections bph" and found a ton of information going all the way back to 1999 when it was declared a new procedure. This link is very informative including some great before/after picures of the prostate... http://www.usrf.org/breakingnews/EtOh_Inj_Prost_Goya_J.U.8_99.pdf Keep up the good work. Thank you. > What do you know about using ethanol injections for BPH?

If you haven't googled it please do. It's good info to know about. Thanks for the heads up...Pete > What do you know about using ethanol injections for BPH?

The experience with ethanol injections is small, and there are severe complications reported with it. one patient had his bladder removed after the procedure, due to bladder wall necrosis. There are other options that are much more reliable. Search pubmed and you will find abstracts of publications in medical journals, that are more trustworthy than news. All the best, http://drgomezsancha2.blogspot.com |
