No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Flowmax is commonly recommended before and for 2 or 3 months following seed implants. Also Ibupropin is used for a few weeks to reduce the swelling. I would definately start taking FlowMax before as it takes about 4 days to start working and you could be miserable during the waiting period. You will have at least 4-6 weeks of urinary frequency and urgency and some constriction and FlowMax and Ibupropin really helps in making these tolorable.
