I have taken Avodart for one year. I have suffered from BPH for years. I
have had five biopsies, last one a year ago. No cancer found. Avodart has
reduced many of the symtoms of BPH, i.e., urgency, and frequency during the
day. It has not been as successful in improving either frequency or
hesitency at night.
My PSA has been reduced from a high of 12 to 4 in that one year's time.
I haven't noticed any adverse side effects.

Did it shrink your prostate? What side affects did you encounter?

I don't know if my prostate has been reduced because my uro hasn't taken any
measurements yet. I believe that Advodart does, in fact, shrink the prostate
and that the dramatic lowering of the PSC is as testimony to that. I haven't
noticed any side effects from the Advodart...sex drive still good, no gyno,
etc.

I have been taking Avodart for 1 year. No side effects, prostate hasn't
shrunk according to ultrasound, but flow is better, not much change to
urgency/ frequency. Score down form 17-18 to 15-16.
