I had 21 sessions earlier this year. During treatment I had quite intense pain when urinating but flomax alleviated that. Because there was pain, I didn’t drink enough water and as a result got constipated. Never been constipated before. Quite unpleasant.

If you can get in for the five session protocol , I strongly recommend.

Everyone is different but in my case once treatment was finished all side effects were gone in week. Urine flow now much, much stronger than before and was not expecting that. Erections still happening but if I had to judge, keeping them is probably not quite as good as before.

Thanks for sharing your story- question- you had 21 sessions but you recommended 5 sessions. When you say 21 sessions- that would be 21 days and you would recommend 5 days or 5 sessions? Just want to clarify that. It would be better to have only 5 days of treatment. Thanks
