Three things here. 1, did your doctor run any tests before he fobbed you off? 2, I wouldn't try any remedy without knowing exactly what was wrong with me. I would recommend going to a different doctor if yours won't at least run some basic tests. 2, if you are a diabetic (I am note sure by your post), what are your blood glucose levels? And are you on any diabetes meds? Frequent urination caused by diabetes could indicate that you aren't in control.
My doctor put me on a medicine called FlowMax. Pretty well describes what it does. I found that combining it with Saw Palmetto really did the trick -for me-. I was getting up 6 or 7 times a night. Now I mostly don't have to get up at all or 1 time max. Benign Prostrate Enlargement can happen to anyone (except females) and not just diabetics. Prostrate operations are -very- painful. I don't know why some people are so fanaticly anti suppliments. I -know- some of the ones I take do work -for me-. .

I would suggest you go to an endocrinologist and/or an urologist. Saw Pamento has been shown to help a little in reducing the size of an enlarged prostate in some studies. Bill

I am sure there are those it doesn't help, but it is certainly worth a try for someone who has already been through proper diagnostics and knows the cause of the problem. Something like that should NEVER be anyones first line of defense against any symptom of illness, and combining alternative remedies with prescription drugs can be dangerous because sometimes they conflict, doing the same thing, overdoing the effect. Herbs ARE drugs. Many prescription drugs were first herbal remedies. Taking herbal remedies without full understanding of what they do, or combining them with prescription meds, or using them without proper medical diagnostics in place is plain foolishness. -- Best Regards, Evelyn (to reply to me personally, remove 'sox')
Most likely, T-2 diabetes out of control. Do you feel thirsty all the time, high BG causes it? 250 or higher. Few years ago, when my BG was high, all most every 1/2 hour had to urinate, had to wake up 3-4 times through the night. When I went to the store, first thing want it to know where is the bath room?
