IT WAS A VERY GOOD VIDEO.
Thank you very much!
Excellent video- lucid and reassuring.
Thank you for your kind words!
Thank you Dr. Most informative and useful. I also have B P H and managing through lifestyle changes and medication. What is puzzling is that the urinary flow is not uniform on all days and sometimes it appears quite normal and other days troublesome. Seeing many ads of a drug called Prosman in the newspaper. Any feedback of its efficacy??
