    Yes, not everyone is a candidate. Depends on size and shape of prostate but definitely something to consider. For those of you who might consider it, Urolift has a group of physicians they consider "Centers of Excellence" . They're required to do minimum 60 procedures annually, complete addt'l...

    Anybody on Statin Drugs?

    Go get a cardiac calcium scan. It will help you assess risk. My primary care was pushing a statin for my total chol 212. I reminded him my cardiac ca+ scan perfect. "Never mind" he said.

    Urolift Prostate procedure and TRT

    I had my uroift at age 74, last year. A year into it now. Happy with it. Not sure I understand why you would stop the test. Urolift designates some MDs as "Centers of Excellence".

    Alpha blocker and effects

    Download the IPSS-Int'l Prostate Symptom Score. Do it every now and then to see how you're doing. If it gets to the point of needing treatment, check out Urolift. I'm 75. Had mine last year. Easy, quick, no catheters, no surgery, effective and no sexual side effects. Might even be a bit better.
