Let's have this thread only record results.
I read this forum daily, lots of good comments and suggestions. But, because some people post often and some less often, some write lengthy comments, it's difficult to get a picture of the sucess rates of various treatments.
So, please just answer these questions. No comments on this thread. There is another discussion linked below for discussion of BPH Treatments Results.
