Default Q: Just got diagnosed with BPH- meds? (cystoscopy bladder ultrasound prostate)



I just had a cystoscopy last week and was told that prostate is
enlarged. Doc prescribed me Flomax and also said to try soy products.
I am now drinking soy milk a few times a day, taking a daily Flomax
(as of yesterday) and also taking 160 mg GNC Ultra Saw Palmetto
Formula twice daily. Wondering if:

1) Flomax is OK/harmless/beneficial?
2) Anything else I should be taking or doing?

I'm 44 yr/old, doc predicts that I will be back in the future for
surgery, and an ultrasound showed about 4 oz of urine when
my bladder was 'empty'. Symptoms are slow to start urine (30 sec),
weak start/stop stream, and every night after about 4 hrs sleep I
wake up to urinate.

Thank-you.

-Dave
