  1. Thanks for the link. Guess I should've looked into it before opening my mouth. Certainly not as promising as what I had imagined, but at least it's another option.

    My dad (86) had the TURP procedure about 6-7 years ago and says he's pretty much in need of another one already.

    Aging is fun!!! :(

  2. Does an enlarged prostate give bar bragging rights too?

    "Babe i got a throbbing 9 inch prostate and it's all for you!"

    :p

  3. I've been taking some supplements in the slim hopes that it'll delay another knee operation by even a few months. But something else has happened recently while taking my supplements, my urine flow has gotten stronger and my ejaculation is like when I was a young man, it's explosive. This morning I woke up with wood that lasted 1/2 an hour. I don't know if it's the supplements, a jesus miracle, a piece of salt that was blocking the tube or what. I'm taking my fish oil in a larger dose than I used to but I've taken fish oil for a long time and haven't noticed anything before, same with the osteobiflex. I have started taking K2 and pycnogenol, the former for about a month and the latter for a couple of months. I don't know what if anything has caused the change but it might be worth a try for those with prostrate problems.

  4. It a sign that your body is returning to a less inflamed healthy state. None of the supplements you mentions would have a direct effect. Pycnogenol might have a slight effect but not as much as you describe. Have you tried deep cold to try and help you knee?

  5. Yes, icing my knee helps a lot. I have lost cartridge in my knees and the end result is probably unavoidable, just trying to buy some time.

    since health is more important than money, i predict that ET will turn into another health forum in 2 years from now.

    They do have a procedure where a stent is inserted into the urethra to hold it open when the prostate is enlarged.
    Also, Botox is injected into the prostate and dramatically relieves symptoms
    Uroxatral is great and causes no retrograde ejaculation; just a great drug.
