I was one of the original people who had the Gat Goren procedure maybe 5 years or so ago. The bad news was my prostate of 50 grams did not shrink. The good news is that after this long period of time...
>>> Based on about 4 years of trials and also from anecdotal posts by people on the other forum, the PAE (like the Gat Goren) works for some people and doesn't work for others.<<< Well after almost 3...

Bob: The optimum level of DHT is in the range of 30-50 ng/dL. Estradiol also plays a part in the enlargement of the prostate. Optimum levels should be in the range of 20-30 pg/mL. Life Extension...
Bob: I think you are making the right decision with Avodart. I have explored numerous herbs which claim to reduce DHT but all of them have little effect and also unfortunately reduce testosterone....
Bob... Has anyone given you an answer as to why your prostate continues to grow to such a large size. We do know that DHT increases the size of one's prostate causing hyperplasia and hypertrophy. Are...
Dave...Yes. How time flies. Today I visited my urologist after 39 months of having the Gat Goren Procedure. The doctor is a highly esteemed John Hopkins graduate who has been in practice for 30...
Michael: Nothing further to do. I used to be in constant touch with Dr. Gat. I get up once or twice at night depending upon amount of liquids I drink. PSA has never gone over 0.6 or 0.7 ...ever. So...
Michael: The study on dogs stated: "A frequency of 4-12Hz and intensity of 1000 Gauss was used." ...generated by the Magcell Vetri. It is interesting the data you state on the Papimi device. On...

Michael, Jeff...Thanks for the great research. Maybe some desperate people who urinate 5x a night might not wish to wait until 2019 for FDA approval. I imagine if it works on dogs there is a good...
This is an email I sent to a fellow member who recently had a PAE: "You took the big step and I must give you credit for not doing a turp procedure. I saw today my urologist and he mentioned that at...

Gavrikon: I think the biggest held secret in the medical community today is the danger of cancer "seeding" from biopsies. You put a needle into a lesion. .... Which is bigger the needle or the cancer...
BOB: I hope this period of discomfort passes shortly. Your contribution to this forum is immense. I wish you well...martin victor...
I drink 32 oz of water first thing in the morning to flush out the bladder. I always felt UTI infections could be contained or prevented from happening if urologists would mention to their patients...
rphguy: Thanks for your response. It is interesting to note that with the flomax you have not experienced retrograde ejaculation possibly because of an active sexual life. I hypothesize this may be...
RPHguy: I am glad to hear that you have had success with PAE. At one point I believe you did say that you had mid lobe protrusion into the bladder? Is that the case? Have you seen better flow from...
Karnal: You mentioned you have a urologist relative in New Delhi. Perhaps you might wish to contact this Senior Interventional Radiologist who does PAE at the Max Hospital in Saket, New Delhi. He was...
>>> Therefore I only pee about 200cc at a time and I get up 2 to 6 times a night on good nights<<< Bob: 200cc at a time is not so bad according to what I read. But as much as 6 times a night is a lot...
BPHOrC...I don't know why you would consider a biopsy when an MRI is available. Poking a dozen or more holes into an inflamed prostate indicated by high PSA doesn't make sense. Why risk infection....
>>> I believe the 3.0 Tesla MRI scan is restricted to people who have undergone a biopsy, even if it was negative, and have other indications of prostate cancer. <<< I don't think so. A urologist...
BPHOrC...I would advise against a biopsy: I would recommend a 3.0 Tesla MRI scan. But even before this, I would suggest staying 3 weeks at the Hippocrates Health Center in West Palm Beach Florida for...
MGL59: I am surprised Dr. Gat took you on as a patient. A 118 gram prostate is pretty large. In any case, had you done more research you would have found Dr. Gat's specialty as stated on his website...

zoesman: Didn't you have embolization of the internal spermatics previously and reported your success. So why did you do PAE at a later date? On 3/21/2014 you wrote: "the procedure used in my case...
KC: Regarding PAE... Happy to learn you are doing well. Here is a question for the Doctor: With PAE, less blood is received by the prostate. If the prostatic arteries are blocked (prostatic venous...
Jeff: Yes, I am. It is now 3 months on these 2 products. Generally I go 4 hours at night without a bathroom visit. Less urgency, slightly better flow. Two nights ago, I slept through the night...6...
Dave: I posted this on the Patient.co.uk website: Hi Chuck: I have been on Nettle Root for 3 months along with Crataeva Stem Bark which improves bladder function. I have had the Gat Goren procedure...
Dave: Thanks for the info on the UK website that discusses PAE. It seems to have been successful for a few people. One person talks about his success with stinging nettle root which I found...

Thanks for the heads up on ProsCure. I always felt a rectal suppository with a herbal formulation was a good idea. How you doing by the way?...
Dave: You are wasting your money with Eclectics nettle formula...You need the stinging nettle root, not the leaf which will have little if no effect on the prostate. Medi-Herb from Australia makes...
The real solution to prostate problems may be as simple as a re-designed toilet. Sounds crazy? Current toilets put stress on the pudental nerve and pelvic floor. Looking at Asian and African...

Clap: Cyprus is a tax haven for many corporations and individuals. That might be a reason why Gat and Goren have the procedure done there. Many of your suspicions make sense. In particular, why...
Yes Clap, I trust the source and was well aware of it being an Iranian study. I think you are confusing the politics of the nation with the reality that medical science in Iran using Western...
