Re: BPH Just Starting. Need Advice...

Pain, and especially 'severe' pain, is not generally a symptom of BPH.

Go to another urologist and get a second opinion.

Dear All:

I am a 43 year old man and have sporatic problems with BPH for a while
now. It all started roughly 4.5 years ago with severe lower abdomen
pain and slight urination problems that all subsided quickly once a
small cancerous tumor was removed from my bladder. Since then, about
once a year, I get lower abdomen pain that comes and goes and lately,
I have been starting to have urination problems. My urologist has
prescribed proscar, but I absolutely despise medication that has no
end in sight. I also do not even want to take the chance on a
negative impact on my love life.

I guess I am looking for any alternative therapies that may help out
to avoid medication. Any advice on lifestyle changes, diet changes,
alternative herbs, etc. would be appreciated.
