As I stated I've been using the Duodart for 10 hyears +.
lately the prostrate is causing additional problems.
1. Unable to get an erection except for maybe a few minutes sometimes.
2. On the rare occasion when I can masturbate nothing comes out.
3. I cannot pee standing up only sitting on the stool.

Brief Answer:
There are other possibilities
Detailed Answer:
Hi again Repahus,
Have you had urinary flow measurements, prostate shavings or similar in the past? Any recent PSAs? There is the possibility of medical castration to prevent prostate growth, but that will probably not help the erectile dysfunction. Then there is the possibility of transurethral resection of the prostate, especially of it has not been performed before.
Have you tried cialis or something similar for erectile dysfunction?
Looking forward to hearing from you.

I have had no diagnosis, urinary flow measurements, prostate shavings or similar, since the initial diagnosis when I retired in 2010.
I had no recent PSA's.
I live on a small island in the Philippines and have visited a doctor for the purpose of getting and keeping my prescriptions current.
So the question really is just this: Are there any meds available that work better or are stronger (more effective) than the Duodart and do any meds actually shrink the prostrate?

Brief Answer:
A GnRH antagonist could work
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
That depends; are you at full Duodart dosage? Medical castration using an GnRH antagonist may shrink the prostate some, but in that regard the best option would be a transurethral resection of the prostate.
