I just read a post that quoted a study done on chinese herbal Medicine for BPH.

Has anyone ever tried any of these CHM and if so what ones?

Maybe some of you take them regularly?

I keep believing there is a more natural way to relieve these symptoms than taking flomax for over 10 years which is all I do. My urination frequency is up to 3 times a night I still get up with the flomax before bed. Feeing really tired lately.

Please let me know if you've found anything positive in actually trying the Chinese Herbs.

    If you have retention get a prescription for a diuretic. No side effects.

      Jimjames and I asked the same question before, never get a good answer. I even did a 1 week trial. No help for retention, might even made it worse. Hank

      Diuretics are not for everyone. They are only available by prescription which means you have to discuss it with your doctor if he or she recommends it for your condition. That was always the answer.

    I tried Chinese herbs and acupuncture for about 5 months for BPH and retention, unfortunately not much help.
