Here is replay I got from GG office a week ago: "Dear sir, unfortunately we can't register new patients now, since the team who deals with the prostate treatments are going out for a long research,...
mike The important thing is that back-flow from spermatic vein does exists and the procedure does have effect. I am just wondering why all radiologists around the world who treat varicocele don't...
I just found out that the same procedure (Varicocele Embolization) is performed widely to treat Varicocele. Here is the link http://www.varicoceles.com/treatment.htm. GG do it for the same purpose,...
I see, now it makes sense. But going back to your question if artery embolization can promote cancer, the answer is still no. The article describes the way for cancer to cope with low oxygen, in...
Thank you Martin ...
cancer cells as any other living thing needs oxygen and food to survive and grow. The publication you quoted is not very clear on how those cells manage. Also it is quite old. If the findings were...
I just want to point out that testerone back-flow to prostate is just a theory. At least that's my reading of GG publications. They didn't measured actual back-flow, nor testerone concentration near...
Bob prostate size does matter, we all know that. Yo problem, as of many others, is scar tissues that develop after any invasive procedure. GG doesn't invade prostate and won't cause such...

Bob It's good to hear you are peeing well ;-) Let's hope it will heal ok. Are you taking any drags for that? I would go through any procedure, doesn't matter what is involved, as soon as it works and...
Martin Prostate goes through fast growth phases: immediately after birth, at puberty, at 20th (all those are part of normal development) and at later stage 50th (our problem). It is possible that...
Bob I am sorry to hear about your problem. And you thought that GL is safe surgery. Well, even each complication has a low chance to occur, 1%, 5%, etc. the chance of having one of them is quite...
Martin So does it mean that a man can develop blood back-flow with high testerone concentration from testes in his 20th, then his prostate stay the same for another 30 years, and after that suddenly...
Hi I am new to the forum and read all posting with great interest. I am 65 and have BPH for many years. At the beginning my US urologist kept me on flomax and it worked well for a while. But now I am...
