As a man ages, it is very common for the prostate gland to enlarge. Doctors call this
condition benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or benign prostatic hypertrophy. As the
prostate enlarges, the layer of tissue surrounding it stops it from expanding, causing the
prostate gland to press against the urethra like a clamp on a garden hose. The bladder wall becomes
thicker and irritable. The bladder begins to contract even when it contains small amounts
of urine, causing more frequent urination. Eventually, the bladder weakens and loses the
ability to empty itself. Urine remains in the bladder. The narrowing of the urethra and
partial emptying of the bladder cause many of the problems associated with
prostate enlargement. Tall men seem to have a heightened risk of developing an
enlarged prostate. Advancing age and high fasting blood sugar levels also raise
the odds of prostate enlargement.
Many symptoms of prostate enlargement stem from obstruction of
the urethra and gradual loss of bladder function, which results in incomplete emptying of
the bladder. The symptoms of prostate enlargement vary, but the most common ones involve changes or
problems with urination, such as
a
hesitant, interrupted, weak stream; urgency and leaking or dribbling; more frequent urination, especially at night. This is called nocturia.
Many effective pharmaceutical medicines are available to improve symptoms of
prostate enlargement. However, there are also effective natural therapies, including the use of time-tested
herbal products.
Symptoms of enlarged

An enlarged prostate, medically referred to as benign prostatic
hyperplasia (BPH), occurs in most men as they age. It does not raise your risk
for prostate cancer. Here are the most common symptoms of enlarged prostate:
Difficulty starting to urinate.
Weak stream while urinating.
Strong, sudden need to urinate.
Inability to urinate.
Painful urination or bloody urine.
Being unable to completely empty the bladder.

Prostate Questions
Q. I am considering purchasing a bottle of 'Prostate Power Rx', but I
have already had a 'TURP' procedure done about 6 months ago. Will I benefit from
taking Prostate Power?
A. Each person is unique, it is impossible to predict.
Q. What's in Prosta-strong product for prostate?
A. See
Prosta-strong for info.
Q. I'm seeking Certinin for prostate.
A. We can't find certinin on Medline.
Q. i had my prostate removed in 2002 and have had to
use a VED for sex ever since. will Passion rx be appropiate for me? My psa
checks have been 0.0 since the surgery.
A. We are not aware of any reason not to use Passion Rx by those
who have had their prostate removed. We don't suggest people with heart disease
or heart medicines use Passion Rx.
Q. I went on your website and was very pleased with
the information contained therein. I am 70 years old and suffer from benign
prostate enlargement. I take Cardura 3mg ( Doxazosin ) every evening to relax
the muscles around the urethra and bladder so as to make it easier for me to
pass water during the night. I take other medications like Thyroxene and take
Testosterone Enantate injections once a month because of my very low levels of
testosterone, as I had trouble with my Pituitary gland. I would like to try Beta
Sitosterol, but can I have it on its own rather than with some herbs, such as
Saw Palmetto, as I have been told that Saw Palmetto interferes with any benign
prostate enlargement medication. Is it correct that this is so? I understand
that Beta Sitosterol is a nutrient and not a herb.
A. There is no evidence that saw palmetto interferes with benign
prostate enlargement meds.
Q. Your website is a regular must-read for me. I have
been taking the supplement UroLogic for my frequent urination. My doctor didn't
think I needed any more intense treatment, since I have no prostate problems or
"pressure" discomforts, just frequent bathroom visits. However I haven't seen
much improvement from this present UroLogic supplement and I keep searching your
very trusted website for something else or better but haven't yet come across
any. I'll keep looking, as you keep up the good work of availing the public with
valuable health information.
A. A search on the internet reveals UroLogic has Calcium (as
calcium hydrogen phosphate), Phosphorus (as calcium hydrogen phosphate &
magnesium phosphate), Magnesium (as magnesium phosphate), and a Proprietary
Blend of Three leaf caper (Opteva) (Crateva Nurvala) (stem bark) Horsetail
(Equisetum arvense) (herb) Silica (as colloidal anhydrous). Frequent urination
has many causes and sometimes herbal compounds are effective, other times they
are not. Perhaps UroLogic works in other users. It is rare that a particular
supplement is helpful in all users. If we come across any research on herbal
treatment for frequent urination, we will mention it.
Q. I have a very enlarged prostate. Presently using
Uroxatral once a day to help relax the bladder so I can get more sleep at night.
I also take an aggressive dose of Essiac Tea (8 herb formula). Do you have
something that will support the Essiac Tea and help eliminate the Uroxatrol?
A. You may ask your doctor to read this page on prostate health and
give you suggestions.
