Had almost total stoppage of urine due to enlarge prostate. This was slow process over ten years. (77 years of age.) Now have a catheter. Taking Avodart 5 mg for three months. Have no discernible side effects. Prostate has not decreased in size, since I had the catheter removed once and had to have it inserted within six hours and still have almost total blockage. Appointment on 29 November 2012 to determine next procedure. It appears to be TURP or the catheter the remainder of my life. I don't find the catheter too onerous, just being able to urinate is a godsend. Live alone so sex is not really an issue. Anyway I don't have many five year plans left, but desire to go to the happy hunting grounds with minimum discomfiture.

Five years ago Avodart was prescribed because of enlarged prostate/urination problems. I also was taking Flomax, but before including Avodart. I "insist" that Avodart killed my sex drive and caused ED. My doctor says Avodart does not do that. It did! I was not forewarned! I stopped Avodart after several months. My ED problem remains!
