Prostate health | Prostate problems | Herbal Support for BPH




Inflammation or infection in the prostate gland also known as prostatitis can affect men of all ages. The symptoms generally are fever, lower back pain, pain in the genital area, pain or discomfort while urinating or during ejaculation.


An enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) generally affects men over 40. The prostate grows and puts pressure on the urethra causing difficulty in urinating and ejaculating. It can also lead to urinary stones, bladder infection, kidney problems and an emergency condition known as Acute Urinary Retention (AUR) where the prostate completely blocks urinary flow.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in men in the USA. Abnormal cells begin to grow in the prostate gland and can destroy it. Symptoms of prostate cancer include difficulty urinating, pain in the lower back and pain during ejaculation. There is no known cause of prostate cancer although risk factors include age, race and genetics. It is important to get yearly physical exams and blood tests to screen for prostate cancer so it can be detected early and treated effectively.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)


The prostate is a walnut sized gland in the male reproductive system that produces
semen. It is located beneath the bladder and surrounds the upper part of the
urethra. Along with producing semen, the prostate also controls the outward flow
of urine from the bladder. Because of this dual role, signs of prostate trouble
can include both urinary and sexual difficulties.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), refers to the enlargement of the prostate
gland enough to cause urinary obstruction and sexual dysfunction. Most men over 50
experience BPH to some degree.

Causes of BPH


Benign prostatic hyperplasia seems to stem from age-related changes in hormone
balance that begin when a man is in his 40's. Testosterone levels in the blood
decrease, while other hormone levels rise; the net effect is the increase in a
testosterone derivative dihydrotestosterone that stimulates cell growth in the
prostate. This results in the enlargement and consequent stricture of hte urehtra
within the gland. Other causes include neoplasm, arteriosclerosis, inflammation,
and metabolic or nutritional disturbances.

With BPH the prostatic urethra gets compressed obstructing urinary flow. The
bladder may eventually be unable to empty itself and the lingering pools of urine
become sites of infection or stone formation.

Symptoms



  • Reduced urinary flow
  • Difficulty in urination
  • Incomplete voiding
  • Urine retention
  • Frequent urination urge
  • Nocturia
  • Incontinence
  • Hematuria
  • Physical exam will reveal a distended bladder

    As BPH progresses there may be infection, renal insufficiency, hemorrhage and
    shock.

    Prostate Health



    To promote prostate health:

  • Take warm sitz baths
  • Drink more water
  • Avoid prolonged bicycle riding, horseback riding or other exercises that
    irritate the region below the prostate
  • Practise yoga
  • Take health supplements.
