What is the Traditional Treatment for BPH?
Doctors typically prescribe various pharmaceutical drugs, which seldom work and often have undesirable side effects. The next approach is usually surgical. A procedure called TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) removes some of the prostate tissue to increase the opening for the flow of urine. Medications, such as Hytrin, Cardura and Proscar also improve some of the symptoms. Unfortunately, neither the surgery nor the medications really decrease the size of the prostate. That s why any relief they provide is only temporary.
