Is there any advantage (or otherwise?) in using Saw Palmetto together with
Flomax?  Perhaps taking Saw Palmetto in the morning and Flomax in the

My symptoms are not that severe (other than some retention) and my hope is

This is my first PVP post.  I've read this ng daily for over 2-years.  For
several years I've consumed a brew of Saw Palmetto, Beta Sitosterol, Pygeum
and Nettles.  I've been biding my time until the brew lost whatever effect
it may have had - and for Dr Laub to further hone his PVP ...

There is a report on the front page of today’s Daily Telegraph of a
“revolutionary” new treatment for prostate cancer.  The treatment

sound waves.

This is a follow up to my post titled "Bleeding like crazy 16 months post
PVP":

I had a PVP in July of 1993.  I thought I was all over it.  Yesterday I
helped my girl friend move into her new town house.  I ended up carrying
heavy Japanese teak furniture up three flights of stairs.  The next I passed
a big clot followed by a lot of deep red urine.  The next ...

Is ANYONE trying to find the CAUSE of their DHTs and hence what is CAUSING
their prostate to grow??
(I'm excluding cancer and Prostatitis-induced BPH in this query--cancer will
require a specialized regime for treatment; on the other hand, Prostatitis

Several years back I studied the hell out of the options available and,
having an older brother who had TURP and who had definite problems such as
retro ejaculation, I was not convinced about TURP being the "gold standard".
I opted finally for TUNA and found myself a highly ...

I'm going to have a PVP on the 24th.  How long before I will be able to
resume walking?  How long before I will be able to lift weights?

My URO says it's time I had a TURP and is suggesting the Gyrus method.

Nutritional intervention for BPH includes a healthy low-fat, high-fiber
diet, weight loss if necessary, vitamin and mineral supplements and, in some

doctors also consider two herbs, saw palmetto and pygeum (a ...

It's been 12 months since my PVP and I'm sorry to report that
the results have been very disappointing for me.  Except for newfound
retro and
increased urgency and control problems, my symptoms are exactly the

After a normal movement in the morning, I am experiencing the constant
feeling of having to make a bowel movement during the rest of the day, but

has been about 5 months that I have been experiencing this.
