(i'll start a separate thread on non surgical procedures in near future.)

I don't know the answer to your question. PAE only affects the arteries feeding the prostate.
Do you know what causes bladder stone development?

Are there at least a handful of success stories with this herb on these forums?
Also, are there many who have avoided surgery with Proscar and were able to tolerate the side effects?

In my case in the around nine years I took it for my prostate grew from 35 grms to 75 grms. While it didn't shrink it but I have no way of knowing if it slowed its growth.
