An enlarged prostate can be reduced or controlled with medications that relax or shrink the
gland, and in more advanced cases with minimally invasive treatments or surgery.

Staying physically active, managing weight, limiting alcohol and caffeine, and avoiding
late-night fluids can noticeably improve symptoms and slow progression.

Mike,

An enlarged prostate can be reduced or controlled with
medications that relax or shrink the gland, and in more
advanced cases with minimally invasive treatments or surgery.

I had undergone the Urolift procedure for BPH (enlarged prostate),
and I loved it. However, a kidney stone became lodged in one of the
staples, and they had to undo the Urolift, and do a TURP (cut out
the center of my prostate) instead.

Man. The things we won't do to keep the medical field busy. Between you and I, we help keep them occupied.

At least my A1C had dropped to 6.0 this past week, but my weight
is holding steady. I asked him about the GLP-1 deal, and he said
that it's so expensive right now, for those on a fixed income, as
I am...it's not worth worrying about.

Sorry for the delay in replying...life has been very busy outside
the BBS.

I have a telehealth with my Endocrinologist today and I was going to ask for a prescription for Ozempic or whatever. I guess I won't worry about it if it is still too
expensive. Glad you're back online.

I think of the joke where the guy noted "I hate these virtual
telehealth sessions. I had to do my own prostate check, and now,
I can't find my cellphone, but my butt keeps vibrating". <G>

That's like the one where the woman says she purchased this
deodorant stick, which noted "Take off top, push up bottom".
Well, it's hard to walk, but every time she farts, the room
smells lovely. <G>

Glad you're back online.

I've been online, although we've had quite a few instances of
thunderstorms lately. We won't get flooded from what may become
Tropical Storm Arthur this week, but areas to our south will get
inundated.

Extensive work with ham radio and square dance related items
have cut my BBS work down to a trickle. I have to find a way to
keep these "connect then drop" FTP bots off my system, instead
of putting in the "no name" deal, as it kills "anonymous FTP",
unless you're logged on via Google.
