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

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

Interesting study on the importance of post-ADT testosterone recovery for long-term health. I’m curious if this suggests that 18 months of ADT rather than 24 is equally effective for my node-positive 4+3 disease. https://ascopost.com/news/february-2025/testosterone-recovery-after-androgen-deprivation-therapy-linked-to-improved-survival-in-high-risk-prostate-cancer

Anyone have any knowledge or diagnosed with leukemia after prostate cancer?

I am not oligometastatic, dammit! But this could really be something worth trying! It is, at least from preclinical studies, a more targeted version of the previous Actinium based therapies. The ACCEL trial is a Phase 1 clinical study testing Actinium-225-labeled PSMA-62, a targeted radioligand therapy

ProstACT Global Phase 3 trial (NCT04876651) for TLX591, a PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy, globally in 2023, with a recent U.S. rollout announced on February 25, 2025, starting in Miami at Biogenix Molecular Research Center. Unlike Pluvicto’s small-molecule approach, TLX591 uses an antibody (rosopatamab

What are the groups thoughts on the use of reflux drugs perhaps causing prostate cancer? I've seen some of the articles out there but curious of the groups thoughts and comments Thanks

This study examined the relationship between drug efficacy in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and real-world effectiveness for metastatic castration-resistant #ProstateCancer (mCRPC) drugs. By analyzing pharmaceutical therapies approved between 2010 and 2019, the researchers compared overall survival

I’m one yr post-HDB . 3 years ago I had the urine Exosome test which uses 3 high grade prostate CA markers. If it’s above 15, a biopsy is recommended. Mine was 55 so my process began. I progressed from low risk to favorable intermediate in 1 year and got treatment. Prolaris 3.5, Decipher 0.5. None

Hi everyone, I know that preparing for prostate cancer radiotherapy can be a stressful journey. I sincerely hope that this post does not offend anyone - please let me know if it does. We are working on developing a robotic system designed to make spacer placement safer, more precise, and free from

Jonathan Epstein, who literally wrote the guidelines for prostate cancer pathology, is now in private practice (he used to be affiliated with Johns Hopkins). He personally reads all prostate biopsies sent to him. https://advanceduropathology.com/ This was written by Harold Wolinsky on his blog: "He
