Enlarged prostate is the most common problem. It is so common that it
has been said, "All men will have an enlarged prostate if they live
long enough". It is not life threatening nor is it cancer; however, if
left untreated it can lead to more serious health problems such as
urinary retention, bladder stones, urinary infections or kidney damage.
This condition is often called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or
benign prostatic hypertrophy. Treatment is determined by the severity of
your symptoms. You will need a medical examination and a PSA test to
establish if there are any cancerous cells around. Once cancer is ruled
out, there are a variety of options. I also want to outline some of the
natural remedies for enlarged prostate towards the end of the article.
Surgery
Surgery
on this delicate gland can result in problems such as impotence and/or
incontinence. The actual cause of the condition is unknown. After taking
a complete medical history, your doctor will perform a digital rectal
exam to feel the gland. The urologist may recommend medication which
lowers levels of hormones produced by the prostate, reduces the size of
the gland, increases urine flow rate, and decreases symptoms of BPH. The
choice of a specific surgical procedure is usually based on the
severity of your symptoms and the size and shape of your prostate.
Natural Remedies For Enlarged Prostate
You
may, with your doctor's advice consider herbal supplements. Many herbal
prostate supplements with saw palmetto oil, one of the top 10 herbal
remedies in the world used for prostate conditions, can significantly
improve symptoms. In fact, herbal remedies for prostate enlargement
frequently combine these herbs along with saw palmetto. BPH is known to
improve with nutrients such as Beta Sitosterol, Lycopene, Campesterol,
Selenium, zinc and Uva ursi. Cod liver oil and borage oil are also
useful. A diet rich in fibre and a clean colon will contribute
enormously to a healthy gland.
Homeopathic Remedies
Let us
look for a moment in more detail on one of the most popular natural
remedies for enlarged prostate. This is a homeopathic remedy. One of the
ingredients used to give great relief is called Cubeba especially where
there is a tight feeling after unrination. Chimaphila umbellata can
help when there is retention of urine and there are also urgent and
frequent cases of a desire to go to the bathroom.
When you look
for a homeopathic remedy, make sure that the facility is both FDA and
GMP approved. The ingredients used should all be listed in the
Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS). these are
guarantees that very few companies can offer.
So, there you have
it. You can now make a choice. You can either go on with your
uncomfortable existence where you spend too much time in the bathroom.
The second option is to take action to change all that.
