Avodart Dutaseride.
Posted , 9 users are following.
hi all. Just a recap on my recent posts. Been to docs today. Explained the nightmare I was having on a year of Finesteride. Told him I had stopped a couple go days ago. Lack of libido, sensitivity, man boobs etc. I have noticed, as I have now retired, hence not as physically active, I feel this has not helped my condition or health in general. He has said to try Avodart to go with my Doxozasin. I will give them a try over the next couple of months to see if they suite me better. My last PSA was - 1.1 but I presume the finesteride impacts on the reading. I realise this is the same type of drug as Finesteride but will give it a try and if run into the same problem. I'll have a word with the doc. They don't seem very keen to prescribe cialis in the UK. Cost I presume. Any input opinions would be greatly appreciated. Any one on Avodart/ Dutasteride?

So my urologist put me on Avodart (dutasteride) . That drug made the side effects much worse and now 5 years later I cannot get off of it since when I try my prostate grows like crazy due to DHT production. So I am having the worse of all worlds. Currently I do self-cathing every day (CIC) and am ok with that but Proscar/Avodart ruined my life at age 69. My advice to you: destroy those drugs before they destroy you!!

Hi - yes but at 240gm I only qualify for a simple prostatectomy (either open or robotic) or FLA by Dr. Karamanian in Houston. For now I don't mind doing CIC and hope that one of the new experimental procedures being developed where they just inject a new drug into the prostate to shrink it will get approval soon. Thanks.

Hi Hank- yes I forgot to mention HoLep - that is an option for me too. I just worry about incontinence as it destroys the inner sphincter so it necessary to do Kiegel exercises to keep from dripping. Then there is the RE issue too. I don't mind CIC at all thanks to all my friends here who taught me how to do it 2 years ago. I am hoping one of these new injection procedures will get accelerated approval and then I would just need a simple once a year injection to restore my prostate. Probably my prostate itself is acting like a middle sphincter muscle at this time. Howard

You are not the only one. I've been waiting for that injection as well. 😀 Hank

I wonder if Big Pharma is preventing the advance of this answer to our prayers: From: Yigal Gat, BSc, MSc, MD, PhD, Andrology and Interventional Radiology Unit, Maayanei HaYeshua Medical Center, Bnei Brak, Israel; and Braun Center for Sub Micron Research, Department of Condensed Matter Physics, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel.
Who says:
Benign prostate hyperplasia develops due to an impairment of the testicular venous drainage system in the erect posture of the human. Based on our fluid-mechanics analysis of the venous drainage in the reproductive system, and the results of the developed treatment, the following statements can be made:
1
Benign prostate hypertrophy is caused by increased hydrostatic pressure in the prostate drainage system, while benign prostate hyperplasia is caused by an excessively high concentration of free testosterone; both arriving from the testes to the prostate by pathological back-pressure and back-flow through the testicular and the prostate drainage systems.
2
Eliminating the pathological hydrostatic pressure in the testicular venous drainage system by occlusion of the impaired ISVs, including all the associated venous bypasses and retroperitoneal collaterals by super-selective transvenous sclerotherapy or by microsurgery, eliminates the venous back-pressure and the back-flow of blood to the prostate. This reduces its exposure to elevated free testosterone. This initially reduces benign prostate hypertrophy, and subsequently, at least partially, reverses benign prostate hyperplasia.

We recommend that patients with BPH be examined for bilateral varicocele and be treated according to the suggested treatment.
