A member asked:
I had urethral dilation,for a stricture 4 days ago. can i take saw palmetto i"am 48 years old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Urethral stricture: Although there is some evidence to suggest that Saw Palmetto works with benign prostatic hypertrophy, I know of nothing to suggest it helps with strictures. This is a mechanical obstruction that responded best to dilatation. I would follow the advice of my urologist.
