Did the saw palmetto thing years ago - even participated in med study. Was in study about four years and they dropped the project due to no real positive results. Got worse eventually and doc put me on med. Better for awhile and then worse. Doc put me on med to shrink the P. That made things better but still on med. Operation only option left and I have no desire to go thru that unless things get much worse again.
Meanwhile I P about three times a night and about hourly during heavy liquid consumption. Like two big mugs of coffee in AM and lots of water on longer bike ride. I try to cut back on liquids in the afternoon and that seems to help at night. Above history covers about 25 years.
