@kacko There are numerous options to reduce the size of your prostate . Why have you suddendly become concerned ? Has your PSA been rising ? If so has your doctor suggested it may be BPH related ? DON'T BET ON IT . I would request a Tesla 3T Machine MRI to determine if there are any lesions -- and depending on the findings a TRANSPERINEAL , NOT A , TRANSRECTAL , MRI Fusion Biopsy . This and only this will rule out or confirm you have prostate cancer . A PSA , DRE ( Digital Rectal Exam ) and MRI will not determine if you have cancer . They are Amber light and Red Light warning signals only .
Being on this forum , you must suspect prostate cancer . Educate yourself on BPH , and all other tests and treatment options for prostate cancer by purchasing Dr. Patrick Walsh's book " Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer - Edition 5 " . Also go on U Tube to Dr. Mark Scholz discussions on all aspects of prostate cancer . Become your own best health advocate .
FYI I was on Flomax for BPH for several years before being put on Dutasteride 5 years ago . My doctor indicated my rising PSA was the direct result of my BPH -- WRONG BY 1000 % -- I had cancer . What I had not been told , and I believe my doctor was unaware of the fact. When you are on Dutasteride foe an extended period of time . YOU HAVE TO DOUBLE YOUR LAB PSA RESULT . Today my Lab PSA is 8.4 my TRUE PSA is therefore 16.8 . When you have BPH doctors tend to contribute running to the bathroom , or your rising PSA to your prostate getting larger as you age , or perhaps an infection or other factor . The last thing that dons on many of them is cancer , until it is too late .
Good Luckk .
