Protect your prostate health

The prostate is a small gland located at the base of the bladder, surrounding the urethra. The urethra is the tube through which urine and semen are excreted. The prostate produces prostatic fluid in which sperm travel. The main prostate conditions are as follows: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) – BPH is a progressive enlargement of the prostate. In itself, BPH is uncomfortable and usually not dangerous, but it must be properly diagnosed to ensure that it is not prostate cancer. BPH is hormonal in origin and occurs when testosterone is converted to dihydrotestosterone, leading to excessive prostate cell growth and thus enlargement. Urinary retention due to BPH can lead to prostatitis (see below) and kidney damage if bladder obstruction is not treated. Prostatitis – Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate, which can be caused by infection or hormonal changes. Prostate cancer – Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in men. The incidence of prostate cancer is linked to aging, affecting men over 50, with rates increasing further with age. Survival rates for prostate cancer are good with early detection (99.3%). Lifestyle suggestions for men with BPH Prostate conditions, including BPH, are strongly influenced by lifestyle choices, such as diet and physical activity. To reduce the incidence or symptoms of BPH, consider the following suggestions: Eat more unprocessed foods such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Stop smoking cigarettes. Avoid or reduce alcohol, dairy products, caffeine, and sugar consumption. Exercise regularly (including relaxation exercises such as meditation, yoga, or tai-chi for 10 minutes a day). Maintain low cholesterol levels. If you have BPH, avoid drinking after 7 PM. Prostate disease screening All men over 50 and anyone experiencing BPH symptoms should consult a healthcare professional about prostate health. The traditional test for prostate health is a rectal exam performed by your doctor to detect possible enlargement. A blood test called the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test can also be used. Recently, PSA tests have raised concerns about their accuracy due to high false-positive rates and undetected cancer incidences. The test is still considered a warning sign for men with a PSA level above 10, requiring further examination by a specialist. Many men with BPH show no signs or symptoms. If symptoms appear, it is most often in men over 50, and by age 70, almost all men experience prostate enlargement.1 BPH is the enlargement of the prostate, usually due to age-related hormonal changes. Prostate enlargement interferes with the urethral canal, disrupting urinary functions. If you are a man and experience the following difficulties, you may be experiencing BPH symptoms: Increasingly frequent need to urinate Nocturia (waking up to urinate) Burning pain during urination Weak or dribbling urine stream Inability to completely empty the bladder Be sure to consult your healthcare professional, who can perform tests to confirm your condition. There are prescription medications that have shown their ability to reduce BPH symptoms within 6 to 12 months, while also reducing the size of the enlarged prostate. These medications, such as Proscar®, can have undesirable side effects, including decreased sexual desire, impotence, and breast pain.2 Your healthcare professional may recommend a number of natural ingredients that have been recognized for their ability to relieve BPH symptoms without adverse effects.
