I'm 57 and have BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and am on meds for it. I tried some different meds with various results. Rapaflo took away my ability to ejaculate and others didn't.
I was tired of peeing myself and settled on Vesicare. It helps.
I haven't had the surgery, but that may happen some day. I have time to decide. The urologist and I have discussed the options and risks.
Much has to do with circulation, blood pressure and surprisingly, diet. I have to avoid salt, caffine and nitrates/nitrites. Now that the holidays are over, maybe I can get back to eating normally again.
Statistically there are many men with BPH (half of us over 50?) and this affliction, so there should be plenty of support out there.
