Anyone have small-volume BPH?
Posted , 6 users are following.
I went to the urologist today and he said my prostate is about 20 (not sure what scale) according to the abdominal ultrasound he did.
I have a feeling of incomplete empything (even though the ultrasound showed I was emptying completely), frequent urination during the day and have to wake up once during the night, and a somewhat weak stream.
He told me to take Alfuzosin for a month and then check back with him to see if that improves the obstruction.
I was hoping (yes, odd) that I had a large prostate, so I could get PAE in Portugal. However, I noticed that Bagla over at Inova did a recent study with small-volume BPH participants that showed similar success to larger volume BPH patients.

Dr Piscos in Lisbon requires >40 cc's. Hopefully, he'll reduce his requirement.

Make sure you check the side effects of any pills you decide to take. I had Tamsulosin and finasteride for 18 months as I had an enlarged prostate. I had Retrograde Ejaculation as one of the side effects of the pills. I did have a TURP operation which has caused many problems with me sex life. As well as the RE I now produce little or no semen and erection problems. I am 63 and enjoyed sex but not anymore. You are only 47 and need to consider this. All the very best Peter.
