proscar

Avatar m tn I had quite severe BHP and taking proscar and cardura. Had always difficulty urinating. I tried saw palmetto and it made me unable to urinate at all. I had to go to hospital.
Avatar f tn saw palmetto was tried in the late 90's for benign prostate enlargement, and the results were rather mixed. Then Proscar came along and pretty much ended that debate. Saw Palmetto has faded into the background - it's possible you affected your DHT levels, but it will definitely only be temporary. I quit Proscar for that reason, best not to fool around with sex hormone levels, in my opinion.
Avatar f tn I have PCOS and am ttc. In my research I've come across Saw Palmetto and its possible benefits for women with PCOS. Has anyone used it with good results? Has it helped to manage symptoms of PCOS? Or with conception?
Avatar f tn However his doctor has not made any direct statements on yes or no to continueing taking Maitake Mushroom, Shiitake Mushroom and Saw Palmetto. Does anyone also take these supliments and have any of your doctors stated if it is alright while on treatment or stop?
Avatar f tn Hi there, i'm 19 years old and I took saw palmetto for about 5 days because it is known to increase sex drive and help with erectile function. After 5 days of use, it lowered sex drive and made my erectile dysfunction way worse. I just need to know if this is at all permanent. Has anyone else had experiences with this? I only took it for 5 days so im not as worried but I just dont know at this point. Any help is really appreciated.
Avatar n tn The most common complaints when using saw palmetto include stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, bad breath, constipation, and diarrhea. Stomach upset caused by saw palmetto may be reduced by taking it with food. Some men using saw palmetto report difficulty with erections, testicular discomfort, breast tenderness or enlargement, and changes in sexual desire.
Avatar n tn Are you taking Flomax for prostate issues? Flomax works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder and prostate, which leads to improved flow of urine and fewer symptoms of BPH. It indeed can have side effects like you describe. https://www.healthline.com/health/enlarged-prostate/flomax-side-effects#side-effects It's a relatively low percentage of patients, less than 4% that have these types of side effects but none the less, that could be going on for you.
Avatar m tn I have searched the internet and there seem to be conflicting answers. I know saw palmetto increases it, and contains BS, but what about BS itself? Thanks.

Avatar f tn I trialled some Saw Palmetto (no particular reason) for a few months last year until I started to notice alternate retrograde ejaculation, usually worse if I’m tired or after a period of abstinence. This is still occuring despite stopping the palmetto.
Avatar m tn Its 25hrs since I took the last half 80mg oxycontin pill. I have not taken the saw palmetto and have been going to bathroom constantly and even for small amounts of urine. It's a little frustrating getting up everytime each night to go to the bathroom but I know it gives me exercise at least. I have a whole slew of vitamins and I do have a question. 5htp has helped me in the past, but this time I have DLPA, L-tyrosine, L-theanine, Valerian Root, and St. Johns Wart.
Avatar m tn 1) Saw Palmetto In a report published in 2000, researchers reviewed 11 clinical trials and concluded that treatment with saw palmetto extract can help improve peak urinary flow rate and reduce patients' need to awake at night in order to urinate. However, a research review from 2009 deemed saw palmetto no more effective than placebo for treatment of BPH-related urinary symptoms.
Avatar n tn It's possibly age related, but I'd also google Saw Palmetto to see if there is any indication that it affects erections. If no hint there, talk to your doctor.
Avatar m tn Even if you stopped or switched to another type you could still have floppy iris syndrome. If it works keep on it and tell your eye surgeon. Special techniques and instruments and drops make FIS not the problem it use to be when we first saw it.
Avatar f tn see I suppose I forget that distinction as well..cockroaches I *can* handle...german roaches are awful because they're so pervasive, but regular cockroaches are just gross and annoying. palmetto bugs are like creatures from my nightmares. Living in sub-tropical Florida, but in the woodsy part of it...we have palmetto bugs like most people have...i dunno...dust mites, lol. They're huge. they're disgusting, and they have no freaking fear. they'll stare you down.
Avatar n tn The blood may be coming from your prostate gland. See a urologist to rule out cancer. If you don't have cancer then saw palmetto pills can help this problem.
Avatar m tn If you experience side effects or if you plan to discontinue it, it is best that you discuss this with your doctor, who knows your medical history and the management plan of your condition. Side effects of proscar include trouble getting or keeping an erection, decrease in sex drive, decreased volume of ejaculate, and ejaculation disorders. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn he tried avodart for 1 year but not worked good for him thats why he stop and try another drug name proscar...
Avatar m tn I take a multi vitamin as well as L-Arginine, Zinc and Saw Palmetto. I was wondering if anyone has any concrete evidence that the L-Arginine especially has any negative effects on my condition (causes/exacerbates) breakouts etc. I also currently use vitamin E liquid topically and have been trying to live as healthy a life style as possible. I like taking the L-arginine for the muscle building properties but I am willing to stop taking it if it makes my HPV worse.
