Great to read that you're getting the result you want sconikink.

I know what you mean seanthomas. Back in 2005 I asked my doctor for meds to lower my testosterone because my (late) wife was on hormone reducing meds for breast cancer, and my sex drive was much higher than hers. Would you believe, the doctor said it's not a treatable condition, and even suggested I ...

Yes, thanks Chesleyt. I have read that urolift does't always relieve symptoms for long. I'll look up button turp and compare it with the other methods. For the time being I'm taking Finasteride; at 1/2 dose currently. Next week I intend to change my trial medication and will try 6 weeks on another ...

My BPH urinary symptoms: I'm getting up a few times in the night but peeing okay. Sex drive is good but cock is slow to erect and not as sensitive (it takes me a ...

Excellent!

After reading more about Finasteride I realise the elevated risk to prostate cancer with this drug is about the possibility of a cancer going undetected for longer due to PSA levels being lowered by Finasteride, but it doesn't mean that Finasteride increases incidence of cancer.
