Recently, I took Nyquil for flu symptoms, and it led to complications:-( I looked at the medication box and clearly says can lead to complications with enlarged prostate. My question: for code/flu/cough/pain-management what are some of the OTC medications safe to take with BPH. I will compile

Prostate Health: Clinical research indicates that pumpkin seeds may help in relieving symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition in which the prostate gland enlarges.

My doc has prescribed this drug for benign prostatic hyperplasia. I need help with urinary frequency, urgency, and frequent night time urination. It is too early to tell if the drug is helping. It can three to six months to have the desired effect of reducing prostate swelling.

Dad has been on BPH medicine since 2011 to control symptoms of prostate enlargement - It contains tamsulosin and dutaseride Recently he has also added xtandi - enzalutamide I read online on drug interaction sites that enzalutamide can reduce efficacy of tamsulosin. Did anyone who is on both

again, hopefully more results soon!! https://bpspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/bph.16501

Before I got diagnosed with PCa , I was taking Tamsulosin plus Dutaseride for many years to control symptoms of BPH. My question is does taking them for many years show a false lower psa number than it actually would be ?

My PSA has risen over nearly 5.5 years since my prostatectomy from Undetectable to 0.3. I was referred to an RO who, after reviewing my test results and prior history, indicated that there were some "cells left behind" near the prostate bed, even though they tried to get at them unsuccessfully during

Hi everyone. Hoping to get some input from the collective experience and knowledge of the helpful people on this forum in making a decision on course of treatment. I apologize for length of post, but, with two issues (prostate and kidney) it took a bit to accurately explain. Newly diagnosed with Prostate

My PSA lows tend to be around 3.3, and it occurs to me that some might think it odd that I don't drive it lower. I think it is very common for men on ADT to draw too much comfort from a significant PSA reduction, if not a near-zero PSA. I have witnessed men misinterpret a dramatic drop in PSA as

I had an appointment with my general doctor yesterday. We talked a bit about my diagnosis (7 months ago). I said it had been quite stressful, getting a terminal diagnosis. He replied that I needn’t use the term terminal. He has a patient still going after being diagnosed, metastatic, 28 years ago at

have a friend with advanced prostate cancer, still going through radiation treatments and it has spread to his pelvic bone. Could fenbendazole 444mg twice a day possibly help him?

Researchers found that androgen receptor (AR) extrachromosomal DNA (EcDNA) is a key factor in treatment resistance for advanced prostate cancer. AR EcDNA leads to overexpression, disrupting traditional treatment responses, and presents new therapeutic targets for improved outcomes. Extrachromosomal

Researchers identified a mutation in the WNT9B gene linked to significantly higher prostate cancer risk. Studies across multiple populations confirmed this finding, marking it as a major genetic risk factor alongside other established high-risk genes. The discovery underscores (once more!) the importance

I am NOT promoting clinical trials; I am here to learn about trials and related questions. Has anyone here participated in these clinical trials? 64Cu-SAR-BBN and 67CU SAR-BBN for Identification and Treatment of Gastrin Releasing Peptide Receptor (GRPR)-Expressing Metastatic Castrate Resistant

does anyone have advice on genetic testing / treatment? I have Oligometastatic prostate cancer, my mother died of breast cancer and I have ashkenazi Jewish ancestry

Hi all. I’ve been on Eligard for 4 months (had 6 month injection in October 2024). Side effects have been very minimal (minor intermittent hot flashes and some fatigue). I am Gleason 7 (4+3) with spread to local lymph nodes. Had radiation and planning on 2 years Eligard and abi + prednisone as per doctor

We will see....but if it performs well, man, it's another proof of the concept. For example, check a company called InSilico and you will see how many big pharma companies are using their AI/ML services to develop their own solutions... Anyway...a clinical trial is soon to begin evaluating Pocenbrodib

The PSMAcTION trial is a Phase II/III open-label, multicenter study evaluating the investigational drug AAA817 (225Ac-PSMA-617) for PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Patients who previously received androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPI), taxane-based chemotherapy
