Hey guys, does anyone tried herbal supplements to improve BPH? What worked and what didnt? Im in my 40s and starting to have issues with this. Especially after an intense hand release or vigorous FS. Slow flow, discomfort in the pelvic area, minor ED. Screens come back negative for UTI/STDs. I dont do BBFS. Thinking to try something herbal, but his stuff costs a ton and there are many options. What really works?
Herbal supplements for prostate health/BPH

I did, multiple times. Urine analysis is clear, STI screens are clear. Sonogram shows varicocele, and enlarged prostate. First thing the docs prescribe 14 days doxy. I take that, everything goes back to normal, until that is the next hobby visit. Doesn’t matter If it’s hand release or CFS I’m back to square one. Even if the hobby session is several months after doxy treatment…. This is round 3 or 4 like this.
Doxy can also treat prostatitis, I believe..
Enlarged prostate can also be caused by lack of exercise, eating habits, excessive weight, age, amongst other things
It sucks- I find myself waking up to piss 3-4x a night- Normal function during day-
Definitely check with MD or other type of specialist before going on a herbal regimen - certain herbs can interfere with other medications , if one is taking them

Be aware that the most prescribed drug for BPH is Finasteride.
Some of the side effects listed are:
Sexual dysfunction, generally in the form of erectile dysfunction, decreased libido and reduced ejaculate volume, has been experienced by men taking finasteride.
Note that I take a small amount ( 5mg pill cut in half) every other day, an have not seen these side effects. My PSA went from 5.0 down to 0.6 for past couple of years.
Also if you have the side effects you can always stop taking it.
The pill container is a good place to hide your V in plain sight is you need to do that.

glad to hear that you feel that Prostate PQ worked out for you.
Yes indeed, as you posted it is not cheap $124 for 90 day supply.
It contains Quercetin, a plant pigment is a potent antioxidant flavonoid a found mostly in onions, grapes, berries, cherries, broccoli, and citrus fruits. This is where I get mine. Also cauliflower and brussel sprouts.
It also has rye grass flower pollen extract where "Laboratory studies show that pollen extracts act uniquely on prostate cells by selectively inhibiting their growth. In fact, one study showed that pollen extracts are almost equally as effective as the prescription drug finasteride"
I don't take rye grass flower pollen extract but I do take prescription finasteride (I take half a tablet or 5mg/2 every other day. Prescribed to me by my urologist and it brought my PSA from 5.0 down to 0.8.) Cost is $5 copay for 360 day supply.
Couple of differences between my approach and yours (besides cost):
1. I enjoy onions, grapes, berries, cherries, broccoli, brussel sprouts,cauliflower and citrus fruits.*
2. My urologist probable doesn't get any of my $5 copay per year for recommending finasteride whereas yours probably gets part of your $496 per 360 day supply cost for Prostate PQ**
*I oven roast brussel sprouts, cauliflower, onions and garlic mixed with a little extra virgin olive oil. The roasting causes them to caramelize bringing out sweet and nutty flavors.
