Dear Martin,
I am D., 173 tall and 67 kilos, medication 1 aspirin, 1 doxa and 1 finasteride per day.
My question is about PSA, my PSA value is almost 16, now I am taking finasteride with doxazosin. I know that I have to use this remedy for 6 months to come to a conclusion whether or not it works. If it works and the PSA goes down, does this mean that if I continue with this, the PSA will continue to drop or will this also come to an end?
I have been using this product for 2 months now and I want to have it checked this year whether the value has decreased. If not, should I consider a Holep treatment or a Turp, which is better and less painful?
Thank you for your opinion.
Regards,
D.
