How many men here suffer from BPH? What are you taking? [View all]
I've been suffering from BPH for a couple of years. I'm currently on tamsulosin; but, I still get up during the night.
I'm also taking a 'natural' product which does seem to be helping; but, progress is slow.
My doctor wants to prescribe finasteride (generic for Proscar). What I've read about it is scary! Google on 'post-finasteride syndrome.' Some men have said it completely terminated their sex lives - no sexual desire as well as erectile dysfunction.
If you take finasteride, what was your experience?
If you're taking a natural product, like saw palmetto, is it effective?
