Men's Health - Effective Remedy For Enlarged Prostate

By Ann Louise


Many men today are looking for a good remedy for enlarged prostate. These treatments are just easy to find, but the harder part is picking something which can give you long lasting results. What are prostate problems? How will you pick a good treatment?

Prostate problems are one of the top problems men encounter when they grow old. Prostate enlargement comprises almost 70% of these problems. Almost 50% of untreated cases of prostate enlargement progress into prostate cancer. These numbers shows that men's awareness of their condition is a must.

Prostate enlargement strikes men in their early 40s. This is due to the continuous accumulation of the testosterone hormone in the prostate gland which builds-up and calcifies inside over time. It is medically known as "benign prostate hyperplasia". "Benign" means "non-cancerous" and "hyperplasia" means "tissue growth" or "abnormal growth".

Prostate enlargement symptoms are frequent urination with discomfort, dribbling of urine, urinary retention, thinning of urine stream, and inability and problem starting urine stream. These signs and symptoms are normally a end result of urinary tract infection.

The urethra which serves as the pathway of urine is compressed throughout the enlargement. The core then narrows along with the urine inside is retained and not excreted. On account of urinary retention, the urinary tract could be a superb location for bacterial development where infection could occur.

Anti-inflammatory drugs can temporarily shrink the prostate gland. Analgesics can act as pain relievers. Antibiotics are also given to treat the infection. But these drugs though very effective can only be used not more than 2 weeks. These drugs are not intended for a long-time usage. They have adverse side effects that may harm the health of an individual if taken for a long period. This is also the reason why most men prefer to use supplements than those ordinary prescribed drugs.
