I tried saw palmetto first. Took it for eight months. Felt like I was finally doing something.
Then I realized my symptoms hadn't changed at all. Not one fewer bathroom trip. (Not even slightly)
So I tried beta-sitosterol.
Same story. Bought the most expensive brand. Hit a wall. Nothing moved.
Then I went all-in on lifestyle changes.
I started cutting fluids after 6 PM. Then 5 PM. Then 4 PM.
I'd read all these articles about how "reducing fluid intake reduces nighttime trips" and "limit caffeine and alcohol."
It sounded simple. Like maybe if I just drank less, I'd finally sleep through the night.
But... nothing. Still getting up four times. Still standing there for two minutes producing a trickle.
So I doubled down and tried Flomax.
The dizziness was immediate. The ejaculation problems followed. The stream improved slightly.
But nothing really fixed the problem long term.
