I am a designer modelmaker for film and tv in the UK and I think I might be onto something with regards to the prostate. Recently diagnosed with BPH myself, I have an idea for a special clip for the prostate. but it will only work if the urethra passes THROUGH the prostate, without actually being attached at the point where it passes through. I need to know how embedded is the tube and can it be moved at all (ie. in and out of the prostate) is there a membrane, or are there blood vessels connecting it directly to the prostate. If the latter is the case, then I am scuppered. If there is room for a sleeve to be slid down around the tube, then there is hope and I can carry on designing the clip.Anyone with any detailed knowledge of the prostate would be welcome.

steve:
My Doc put Me on FLOMAX.
He never said I had BPH, but I have been doing
research abt FLOMAX and it is recomended for
BPH.
I had a Kidney Stone loged in the urithea at
the point of almost falling into the bladder.
but would not budge so they went in and blew it up. [I do not know why the doc put me on FLOMAX
but I do know it makes me go quite often.

My uncle is suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH or enlargement of the prostate gland). He take meds for treatment (he orders at costmeds.com ), such as Avodart, Flomax. These medications really help him. Hope it'll be useful.
