Of all the treatments for BPH and related urinary symptoms what do you recommend? My prostate is approx 80 grams; I am 56 and in good health. Wish to avoid Avodart if possible. I had biopsy last year (negative)..and 10 yrs previous (negative).

Hi Vic,

 

Thanks for your question.  While we can't offer specific medical recommendations, I am passing your question along to one of the doctors on our site.  We'll let you know when a reponse has been posted.

 

In the mean time, you may find it helpful to look at the treatment options for enlarged prostate.  These can include other types of medication, lifestyle changes, and surgical procedures.
