Older Men word to wise.
 
Ok if you over 50 experiencing low flow or lower than normal (and we men know what I’m taking about) I suggested you see doctor to try pills to shrink prostrate. You don’t want to wait cause it takes while for medication to work, some cases long while to shrink post rate.

Believe me you don’t want go through the several processes procedures to cut out or burn hole bigger. On bright side the pills might work? if not you’re going to feel pain:22yikes: so I guess I’m saying don’t wait till garden hose complete plugged up and only dribbling.

Agreed. It's only going to get worse, and the longer you wait the greater chance it being a permanent problem.
A prescription for finesteride shrank my prostate, relieved all my symptoms, and brought my PSA down below 2.
No side effects, except it's also a hair growth med, so maybe my hair will thicken up!
