garand (Enlarged Prostate)
The doctor started me with Rapaflo and recently added Proscar. According to my cystoscope he said I am 4cm. closed. I recently attempted self cahterization, which started fine for a day and then had a horrible experience not being able to get the Cath in..Found myself back in emergency room having a catht put in again to relieve my bladder. I'm extremely depressed and would like to find a natural form of medication since I have no hospitaliztion and the bills are bleeding me dry.
