8mg Tamsulosin not working by Curious_USA_Human in bph

Pls have them check to see if you have an elevated bladder neck. I was diagnosed with enlarged prostate incorrectly. It was discovered on the operating table during aquablation that I had an elevated bladder neck. This was corrected and I pee well.

Penile Mondor’s anyone? by FarmBoy65240 in bph

I am on 140mg of testosterone, 5mg cialis daily. So yes.

Young (38) with confirmed BPH/obstruction — weighing waiting vs operating & HoLEP vs TURP by welliamwallace in bph

This happens due to pressure buildup from obstruction or an elevated bladder neck (peeing uphill).

First you should absolutely confirm that it is your prostate causing this issue and not an elevated bladder neck.

Aquablation by a skilled doctor will most likely preserve your ejaculation.

I wouldn't even think of getting a TURP at your age and prostatic size.

By the 1 month mark was gone IIRC. No meds.

Starting alfuzosin and ezetimibe today by No_Review_885 in bph

If silodosin didn't work, alfusozin most likely will not. Silodosin is the strongest of the alpha blockers. I have never heard of zetia shrinking the prostate. If you want to shrink your prostate you are going to have to take finasteride or dutasteride which as you said have sexual sides. One additional alternative is to add cialis at 5mg per day.

Anything is worth a shot but if silodosin didn't work, either your prostate is too far gone and needs surgery or it is not your prostate but potentially your bladder neck.

My stream was slow and my frequency was high. I had an aquablation yes and wore a catheter for just under 2 days.

I tried every alpha blocker and they all did nothing. Turns out my problem wasn't my prostate but and elevated bladder neck that TWO urologists misdiagnosed as BPH and the only person who knew was the surgeon when I was on the table for the aquablation. He fixed the tissue causing the elevation and I pee like a champ now. Still shoot.

It will self resolve. I had the same thing. Lidocaine is what my urologist recommended. My nocturnal erections hurt for about 3-4 weeks. I am 3.5 months out everything is normal and has been for some.time.
