Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostatitis / April 2004Some relief with Uroxatral
FWIW, I had to see a Uro due to a small bump in the PSA. DRE and retest of PSA showed all clear. I mentioned to him about the chronic prostatitis and he gave me some samples of Uroxatral to try. Apparently it is primarily for BPH but he said it sometimes provides relief by calming a prostate that spasms. I think, "Whatever", but they were free so why not. He said to call if they helped and he would write a scrip. I took the two week supply and felt considerably better. As soon as they ran out the achy prostate feeling came back in a couple of days. I called the office and got a scrip for seven months worth and take one per day. I'd say the improvement is about 75%. Take this for what it is worth from a fellow sufferer. I'm not interested in getting flamed by some of the sniveling cocksuckers that ruin this board so if you have a problem with an amateur's honest evaluation of an anecdotal experience, shove it up your a.s instead of posting your tale of woe.

Got a script and it helped you. This is what we want to hear. I congratulate you on moving on as some people have trouble doing that and are stuck on cultures and how bad doctors are. They have trouble turning the page. We are all amateurs and good doctors are hard to come by. That is a given!!! >FWIW, I had to see a Uro due to a small bump in the PSA.

I may try and get my uro to write me a script for some of this stuff. Thanks to for advice to the "Roberts" in this group. To damn much PC crap going about these days. > >FWIW, I had to see a Uro due to a small bump in the PSA. DRE and > >retest of PSA showed all clear.

There's still hope for you still gothika, you made no mention about how terrible the VA is and how doctors suck. I hope continued success. >FWIW, I had to see a Uro due to a small bump in the PSA.

Like you, I have been taking Hytrin for several months which has helped. I tried Xatral for a while but I found it was giving me terrible headaches. The Hytrin works just as well for me with no side effects. I find I'm really good while standing, but sitting at my computer for extended periods of time sometimes makes me want to void on an irregular basis. I hope this burns itself out soon.

None so far. It's been a bit over a month. I have noticed that instead of the old routine getting up 3 or 4 times at night for dribbles, I get up once or twice for what is more or less a reasonable pee. If I do notice any side effects, positive or negative, I will post for sure. For email remove "_no_spam_" > FWIW, I had to see a Uro due to a small bump in the PSA.

Some alpha blocker treat high blood pressure, some BPH, some both. Some others are..... Hytrin (terazosin hydrochloride), hbp & BPH Cardura (doxazosin mesylate), hbp &BPH Flomax (tamsulosin hydrochloride), BPH Minipress (prazosin hydrochloride), hbp Alpha-blockers help relax smooth muscle tissue that is found in the prostate and the bladder neck. By relaxing this smooth muscle tissue, urine flows out of the bladder more easily. |
