I subscribed to this ng several years ago.  During the time I was a
subscriber, I had enlarged prostate, was treated with proscar for a couple
years and ended up having a TUMT in 2000.  So far everything is working
fine, I pee like a champ, I occasionally get up once during the ...

I've been on a regimen of Flomax and Ditropan XL for some years.
The Ditropan XL to relax bladder and the Flomax to reduce bladder neck
restriction.  On the Flomax I definitely had an improved stream but still
had sense of restriction.   My physician suggested I try Uroxatral.

Vitamins May Not Prevent Prostate Cancer
Taking the vitamins E and C or the nutrient beta-carotene doesn't protect
against prostate cancer, says the latest study in the continuing, confusing
quest to determine when supplements really help health.

I have found a way to upload videos in my blog. I have already placed a
video of a PVP of a 44 gram prostate, you might want to have a look.
I am working on a video of a 100 gram prostate and also a video with
real time transrectal ultrasound control of a PVP procedure, I will

I'm 50, have chronic prostatitis and BPH (34 cm).  I'm also on
Uroxatral (have been since being diagnosed in early January), a beta
blocker which has increased my ability to urinate.  However, I seem to
be experiencing this odd rectal sensation.  It's not pain but it's

It's been 2 months since the TUIP (bi-lateral & "deep and aggresive" as my
doc put it),  my flow is great - 25ml/sec vs 7 before, no complaints there.
The problem is that my bowel function has never returned to anything close to
what it was before the surgery - has anyone else ...

On Dec 10, I wrote in this newsgroup of two 72 yr old bph suffers.  One
is my brother (with a 103 gm gland) who lives on the east coast and the
other is a friend (with a 40 gm gland) who went to see my PVP URO here
on the west coast and was found to have a ballflap involvement of ...

I had a few minutes of time and went to Dr Sanchas .
http://drgomezsancha2.blogspot.com/ site and watched a 6 minute video of a
PVP he did.. He exlained what he was doing and what it would do for the
patient. it made the whole process seem kind of not so bad-like I could do

I'm new to this board, but in need of info. I had Greenlight PVP on Jan 10
and was optimistic that the procedure would cure my BPH problems. I was
getting up 3 to 4 times every night despite my being on .4 and the later .8
mg of Flomax. The Flomax helped for several years until ...

Would like to hear the experiences, good and bad, from those who use or used
AVODART.  Thanks.
My understanding is that it could take several months to be effective.

I just noticed that a couple of you were in the prostatitis ng.  It used to
be a good group back in 1997 but now is almost extinct (like I have said in
here before, but I'm sure you don't remember).
There is a troll in there who goes by fatty mawsom, mo, bbgator, testclez

This question is out of ignorance...
As the urethra passes through the prostate, I assume it is walled in,
like a straw running through, i.e. a separated from the prostate by
tissue. When PVP is done, how does the laser reach the prostate

I keep an eye on this newsgroup and on this guy's blog.  You guys are a
great source of info.   However, on this guy's blog he has something this
newsgroup has not yet discussed.   After PVP he raises attention to what he
calls a "leaky faucet".
