I am pretty much convinced that Ibuprophen helps shrink both my nasal
membranes and something down there in the urinary tract.
I am not proposing yet another folk remedy, but with my own body chemistry,
as well as all the other expensive stuff I put into me, good old generic
Ibuprophen
seems to be very effective.

Freddie,

Through a long extended process of tests and drug experiments,
it was finally determined that simple anti-inflammatory medications
were able to improve my flow and I was prescribed Vioxx.
Because I was able to view my own median lobe enlargement
when I had a cystoscope, I pushed for a second opinion and
ultimately had a PVP last spring.  My opinion is that drugs of
any type (unless maybe herbal) only delay the inevitable and
when bladder changes might occur it is best to solve the problem
earlier than later.  To this day my bladder continues to regain
its elasticity, I still work on digestional effects of the Vioxx and
I still ache in the knees from the Levaquin. I am thankfully off
all medication and the long term side effects continue to diminish.

In my opinion, the doctors will use this "finding" to diagnose
you as having prostatitis (which is inflammation of the prostate)
and try to give you drugs and send you on your merry way.
I went through this process and spent considerable time on the
internet learning about prostatitis and BPH and the conclusion
I came to is that (1)prostatitis can be caused by BPH and (2)
BPH can be cause by prostatitis.  Swell, either can be caused
by the other! Since I had witnessed my own median lobe
blockage I decided to address it and I couldn't be happier with
the decision.

These are my own experiences and opinions and everyone is
different.  Doing what you are doing by asking others and
gathering information that may be relevant is the start of
deciding how to address your problem.

Good Luck, Lewis.

If Freddy will contact me I will give him some answers.
