Prostate Facts:
Getting up frequently at night, pain in the groin, painful urination, and reduced sexual function - all symptoms of common prostate conditions.The prostate is the organ responsible for producing the fluid part of seminal emissions, helping to control the flow of urine, and for the contractions that cause ejaculation during orgasm. It's no wonder that when a man has a concern with his prostate that it can be troublesome.
Prostate problems occur when the gland becomes infected or swollen. The most common prostate condition is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It occurs in men over the age of fifty (but can occur earlier) due to hormonal imbalances, heredity, poor diet, nutrient deficiencies or high cholesterol. The growth of malignant or benign tumours can also cause prostate swelling. Your PSA level (prostate specific antigen) can indicate the degree of enlargement; it can also indicate whether or not you are at risk for cell growths. Make at least yearly appointments past age forty for this test.
Prostate Enlargement:
BPH affects one in three men over age 50. Symptoms appear when the prostate becomes large enough to interfere with urination. Dribbling, frequent and urgent urination occur and often cause men to wake at night to urinate. Starting and stopping urination can be difficult. When bladder emptying is impaired there is an increased risk for the development of urinary stones and infections. Drug therapy for BPH uses finasteride, which blocks the conversion of testosterone into dehydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT stimulates the growth of prostate cells. Side effects of drug therapy include impotence, decreased libido and difficulty detecting prostate cell growths.
Reducing and Eliminating Prostate Symptoms:
The problem with several of the prostate drugs doctors commonly recommend is, ironically, impotence. No man ever wants this. Fortunately, there are effective alternatives like Dr. Whitaker's Prostate Health formula.Fortunately, there are effective prostate health supplement alternatives that can help.
Saw Palmetto
Saw palmetto, in many cases, relieves the symptoms of prostate enlargement just as well as conventional medication. Prostate growth is stimulated by excess levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Saw palmetto works by inhibiting the production of DHT, stopping DHT from binding in the prostate and increasing the rate at which DHT is metabolized in the gland.
Excess estrogen slows the removal of DHT from the prostate. By inhibiting estrogen saw palmetto also improves BPH. It has been shown in clinical studies to decrease the size of the prostate without altering PSA levels (the hormone that is a marker for prostate cancer).Saw palmetto has been clinically proven to:
- Reduce night time trips to the bathroom
- Improve strength of flow
- Relieve pain and swelling in the prostate
- Enhance sexual function
Nettle Root
Nettle root is used for prostate disorders like BPH. Components in nettle bind to hormone receptors in the prostate thus preventing the stimulation of the gland, which ultimately prevents the prostate's enlargement.
Lycopene
Lycopene is in a class of compounds called carotenoids. The carotenes include beta-carotene and lutein. Lycopene is partly responsible for the colour of vegetables like tomatoes. Lycopene acts as a free radical scavenger. Free radicals are unstable molecules that in their bid to become more stable must bump into healthy cells and cause damage. Cellular damage, over time, leads to degenerative changes and cell growths. Lycopene can help prevent and treat growths, especially prostate cell growths. It also protects the body against environmental pollutants other substances that and lead to aging. Other areas of the body that are protected by lycopene are the eyes and vessels. A deficiency of lycopene has been correlated to an increased risk of heart disease and prostate cell growths.
Pumpkin Seed Oil
Theessential fatty acids found in pumpkin seed oil are required in our diet more than any other vitamin, yet our bodies do not naturally produce them. They must be obtained from external sources in the food we eat.In addition to the essential fatty acids pumpkin seed oil contains many vitamins and minerals including the mineral zinc, which is crucial for prostate health. The primary way in which pumpkin seed oil helps to shrink an enlarged prostate is by reducing the conversion of the "good" testosterone into the "bad" testosterone". It does this by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for this conversion.
Pygeum
Clinically used in Europe to treat BHP (Benign prostatic hyperpasia), Pygeum contains important phytochemicals (Beta-sitosterol, oleanic acid & ursolic acid) that are used to reduce levels of inflammatory compounds in the prostate. Making it effective in reducing prostate enlargement.
