Would have been helpful to spell it out but whatever.

Why don't they just remove the prostate?

It's not like you need it.

Thanks for the info.

I've tried tamsulosin (Flomax), finasteride (Proscar), Avodart, Uroxatrol. And some "natural products" including saw palmetto. None made any difference.

As for side effects while taking them, yes, that part was different. Crummy orgasm on one or two of them, I'd have to look up some old notes. Nasal congestion with the flomax.

I'm just living with it because what I've read about surgery (including laser surgery) is that a lot of people have had horrible results (incontinence -- leg bags, having to cathaterize themselves, no sex ability, etc.).

I know there are risks of not having the surgery too.
