I had numerous infections in my 40s possibly earlier taking antibiodics for 7-14 days or longer. Not until around age 46, I was diagnosed with non -bacterial prostratis and then bph I am 54 now. My ulra sounds show at least 300 cc of post void retention. I can reduce that to 194 if I try again in about 20 minutes. I don’t have the urgency and have to make the effort to void in order to reduce the retention. The kindney creatine test is good 84%. PSA is .16. I have been on Flomax, the tamuluson. I took my self off proscar due to side effects and research noted some patients developed tumours. I am taking nutrients such as Vit B and E selenium and saw palmento and zinc citrate. The doctor recommends turp. I have reservations. Any thoughts?
