Given the choice of surgery or a more conservative measure for lower urinary tract symptoms – what is your preference?
A. The decision may be better left to you and your physician. At this point we don’t know the benefits of long-term nutrition to the prostate. I prefer to try to put you in the position of never being faced with tough decisions. I prefer to encourage you to be proactive about your nutritional health. Even if you have surgery, you still need prostate nutrition. Surgery is associated with inherent risks, time loss, significant expense, and exposure to the unpredictable. I encourage you to huddle with your physician to make the best decision for you. If your physician doesn’t know about prostate nutrition – help him/her out by education and making known your personal health goals.
