Men's Guide To Prostate Problems
The prostate is an important segment of the male reproductive
system. It is a land that is located in the lower abdominal cavity,
just below the bladder, in front of the rectum and behind the pubic
bone. It partially surrounds the urethra. The urethra is the channel
that carries urine to the penis from the bladder and it runs right
through the prostate. A healthy prostate is about the size of a
walnut, weighs approximately 1 ounce and is shaped similar to a
donut.

Symptoms Of Prostate Problems

Enlargement of the prostate is called benign prostate hypertrophy,

or BPH. While this growth is usually considered a nuisance, if a man
experiences problems with burning, or difficult urination at any
time, the prudent course of action is consulting a urologist.

Other symptoms may be:

● A feeling of having to push out urine

● A sensation that the bladder is not emptying

 ● Increased urinating, especially at night

● Intermittent starting and stopping of the urinary stream

After a diagnosis of BPH, many men will just continue to live with
the symptoms and subsequent discomfort. It is not a life
threatening condition, and there are treatments. In some cases
surgery might be considered if the enlargement is significant.

Ignoring BPH can be extremely dangerous and lead to other disease

such as kidney infections or damage as the urine can back up into
the kidneys because of the blockage of an enlarged prostate. There
can also be an occurrence of bladder infections.

There is a huge difference between BPH and prostate cancer. BPH is

a normal part of aging. Prostate cancer is a condition where
prostate cells grow exponentially and out of control. These cells
create tumors that may spread to any part of the body.

Numerous health organizations report that 1 in 6 men will

experience prostate cancer. However, if the condition is diagnosed
early, approximately 99% of
them will survive. The key is early detection.
Prostate Problems
Men have been traditionally regarded as the stronger sex until
prostate problems came. Prostate problems can affect the quality of
life among men. They can cause inconvenience, not to mention the
financial, emotional, social burden of any of these problems.

The population group of men that are mostly affected by prostate

problems are those within 40 years old and above. This ageing
population is put in greater chances of being exposed to the factors
linked with prostate problems. The common problems are prostitis,
enlargement of the prostate and cancer.

Prostitis is the inflammation of the prostate that could be caused by

bacteria or germs, however there is one type that is not cause by
any of the two---the non-bacterial prostitis. The early symptoms of
prostitis are burning sensation coupled with the urgency to urinate
and or frequent urination.

A man having prostitis may also have fever and feel fatigue
because the body’s immune system is fighting against bacteria or
germs. Bacterial prostitis can be treated with antibiotic, though this
doesn’t mean that the condition will not recur. The non-bacterial
prostitis is treated through other means, which will be
recommended by the doctor like changing the diet regimen or
taking a bath with lukewarm water. The physician could prescribe a
drug called alpha blocker.

Enlarged prostate or medically termed, as benign prostatic

hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition of the prostate that grows beyond
its ordinary size. The normal size of the prostate is likened that of a
walnut. Prostate development is a natural biological process in
men. It undergoes growth stagers twice. The first one is during
puberty and the second is during adulthood specifically when man
is 25 years old an above.

The effect of the continuous growth of the prostate can only be felt
when a man is 50 years old and above. In this case a man’s tissue
never grows together with the prostate instead it makes the
prostate to push the urethra making the urine canal narrower.
When this happens the symptoms are more apparent like the urge
to urinate especially during the night, difficulty of making the first
stream of urine, feeling of re-urinating even after doing so, and
presence of blood in the urine.

Prostate cancer is the worst prostate problem an older man of 50 or

above can get. Not only because the disease is painful it could be
emotionally and financially burdensome as well. Prostate cancer
shares similar symptoms with other prostate-related problems.
Although pain in the lower back and difficulty in ejaculating are
some of the symptoms are not present among the other ones.

Prostate problems are curable especially if detected early, and the

prognosis is favorable to the patients. If the early signs of these
problems are already obvious, immediate medial attention is most
necessary a step to make.
An Enlarged Prostate - A Normal Part Of The
Aging Process
The prostate gland goes through two main stages of growth during
a man's life. The first sees fairly rapid growth during the early years
of puberty with the prostate roughly doubling in size. The second
stage of growth starts in a man's mid-twenties and this is a much
slower phase of growth which then continues throughout life.

For the vast majority of men this second phase of growth does not
cause any problems at all until they are well into their sixties or
seventies when the symptoms caused by the now enlarged prostate
will begin to appear and a visit to the doctor will reveal the
presence of nothing more than a simple enlarged prostate. In
medical terms, your doctor will say that you are suffering from
benign prostatic hyperplasia, benign prostatic hypertrophy or BPH.

The prostate sits just below the bladder and partially surrounds the
urethra – the tube which carries urine from the bladder. As the
prostate gland grows, the tissue surrounding it restricts its
expansion and causes the prostate to close around the urethra,
thus restricting the flow through the urethra. At the same time, the
bladder wall thickens and the bladder starts contracting even when
it contains relatively small amounts of urine. In the end, the
bladder weakens and loses its ability to contract and thus to empty
itself, so that urine remains trapped in the bladder.

The precise symptoms experienced as a result of an enlarged

prostate will clearly vary from person to person but, as a general
rule, the first signs will be a change in your pattern of urination or a
difficulty in urinating.

You may find, for example, that you start to experience a weak flow
of urine or that the flow appears hesitant, tending to stop and start.
You may also find that you are unable to hold on and calls to the
bathroom become urgent. Trips to the bathroom may also become
more frequent, especially during the night, and you may also notice
a tendency to leak or dribble urine.

In some cases you may be completely unaware of any problem

until you suddenly find that you cannot urinate at all. In this case,
referred to as acute urinary retention, the underlying problem is
often triggered by common medicines which contain a decongestant
and which are used in cold and allergy treatments. Acute urinary
retention can also be brought on by alcohol, cold or a long period of
immobility.

In the majority of cases these symptoms result simply from an

enlarged prostate and this will be confirmed by a visit to your
doctor who can often treat the condition fairly easily. It is, however,
important that you do indeed visit your doctor if you experience any
of these symptoms as, in a small number of cases, they may be
indicative or a more serious underlying problem, such as prostate
cancer.

A visit to the doctor is also essential as, although many cases of

BPH may be treated quite easily, the condition can lead to an
infection of the urinary tract, damage to the bladder and/or
kidneys, stones in the bladder and incontinence.

An early visit to the doctor can have the problems associated with
an enlarged prostate cleared up quickly and considerably reduce
the risk of developing complications.
A Little About Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer affects an estimated one out of every six males.
Therefore it's understandable that most men want to know at least
something about prostate cancer, especially as they are
approaching their 40s. This article is going to touch on some of the
symptoms and treatments, as well as some of the side effects that
come from prostate cancer and prostate cancer treatment. This
article is not intended to be a substitution for your doctor's advice,
so make sure that you seek a professional opinion if you feel that
you may have prostate cancer.

One thing that's important to note is that you may not suffer any
symptoms at all. That is why it's very important to be checked for
prostate cancer frequently, and especially more so as you get older
because they can find the prostate cancer before any symptoms
show up at all in most cases. Some men that have prostate cancer
may experience some of the following symptoms. Frequent or
difficult urination, as well as a weak urine flow, erectile dysfunction
as well as painful ejaculation and blood in the urine or semen.

There are many different treatment options for prostate cancer and
you will want to discuss these with your doctor or healthcare
professional before any decision is made. A few of the choices are
active surveillance, radiation or hormone therapy, chemotherapy or
surgery. There are also other choices and as I said before you
should discuss these with your doctor.

One of the best things that you can do for your prostate is to make
sure you take care of it in the first place. This may reduce your risk
of prostate cancer. Just knowing some simple things such as taking
vitamin E, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and being informed
about eating fats and red meat can reduce your risk of prostate
cancer.

How to Fight Prostate Cancer

Over the past few years Prostate Cancer has been targeted by
health authorities as the largest hidden killer of men over 45 years
of age. Although there have been advances in education and
general public awareness, men are still demonstrating reluctance to
acknowledge the need for vigilance in their everyday lives.

There are a number of ways that men can reassure themselves

however.

Here is a list of facts and suggestions collated from a number of

sources that you should know about.

One in every 6 men will suffer from prostate problems in their lives.
So there is no need to feel isolated or a victim. Just take action and
get to a doctor quickly at the first sign.
It is almost certain that quick action will lead to successful
recovery. The sooner you visit your doctor and get referred to a
Urologist the better your chances of successful treatment.

There is hope for the future. In 2002, scientists at Liverpool

University in the UK isolated the gene that promotes the spread of
prostate cancer. This information is still being explored to hopefully
produce new drugs which will assist treatment of Prostate cancer
outside of the normal Chemotherapy regimes currently in use.

Dietary habits are the common thread in most of the literature

about prostate cancer.

• Dairy products should be eliminated and replaced by soya. Just a

couple of glasses of soy milk a day can have dramatic effects.

• Lyocopene contained in tomatoes is another factor showing up in

studies as an effective preventative element of a prostate cancer
fighting diet. Eating one moderately sized tomato a day also
provides approximately 4 mg of lycopene. Other tomato products,
such as an 8-ounce portion of tomato juice or tomato paste may
provide up to 25 mg of lycopene.

• Other fruits and vegetables are also recommended, such as

avocadoes, pumpkins, beans and carrots and green leafy
vegetables like spinach.

• Garlic, which seems to pop up in every preventative healthy diet

plan is also recommended as it contains allicin, which decreases the
proliferation of cancer cells.

• Selenium which is found in garlic, tomatoes, and broccoli has also

been shown to be effective.

• Cut back on salt and seasonings as these have been linked to

cancer.

• Green tea is a popular choice as a beverage so drink at least 6

cups a day.

All in all there are plenty of reasons to be positive about controlling

the risk of contracting prostate Cancer. A healthy diet as outlined
above, coupled with most others advocated by Dietician
everywhere, will dramatically reduce your concerns and help you
lead a normal healthy long life.
Natural Cures For Better Prostate Health
There are many ways to approach one’s treatment for prostate
cancer. Hormone treatment, surgical removal of the gland, and
radiation therapy are among these options. But each are expected
to cause side effects after treatments – and some may be mild &
temporary, but some are permanent.

There is this strong support with natural cures for prostate cancer.
Aside from lesser cost with this approach, the side effects are not
that risky. Natural cures for prostate involves the change of one’s
nutritional diet, supplementation, and herbal remedies. With the
help and guidance of a nutritionist or a holistic MD, you may be on
your way to better health.

Natural cures for prostate cancer as changing one’s diet is the first
step in this approach. The saying that goes, “you are what you
eat”, definitely is of substance. A poor nutrition will make it easy
for cancer cells to develop and propagate. With proper nutrition on
the other hand, will make your immune system stronger and will
hinder growth of cancer cells.

A well-chosen, nutrition-rich diet will help you in your subscription

to natural cures for prostate cancer. Fruits and vegetables are very
healthy foods for your consumption. Cold-water fish as tuna,
mackerel and salmon will be a good source of omega 3 fatty acids.
Olive oils provide for healthy fat.

Supplementation is also one of the natural cures for prostate

cancer. This will support one’s diet to ensure all the necessary
nutrients that are essential to your body will be ingested. Green
tea, selenium, melatonin, lycopene, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin
D, vitamin E and folic acid will be good for you.

The use of herbal medicine is also one of the natural cures for
prostate cancer. Among the most popular is saw palmetto (serenoa
repens). This herb is believed to prevent conversion of
testosterone into its more potent form – DHT
(dihydrotestosterone), by inhibiting the 5-alpha reductase enzyme.

When using herbal medicine as a natural cure for prostate cancer,

make sure you are getting the right potency of the herb. Check the
product for possible combinations of other herbs that you are not
sure you want to take along with saw palmetto. As much as
possible, limit your herbal intake to those you trust and your
nutritionist’s approve of.

Natural cures for prostate cancer usually accompanies what many

call watchful waiting. Digital rectal exams and PSA testing are
conducted regularly though, to check for current prostate gland
condition – if necessary, more aggressive procedures and treatment
will have to be done.

These natural treatments are taken in, in the hope of better health
and improved condition as time goes by. A healthy diet with
appropriate supplementation, combined with an active lifestyle, will
do well in your quest for better prostate health.

Could Pomegranates Be The New Prostate

Cancer Natural Cure?
Pomegranates have long been used in traditional folk remedies to
treat sore throats, inflammation, and rheumatism. And recent
scientific research has suggested they are also potentially effective
in both preventing and treating prostate cancer.

One study, conducted on human prostate cancer cells in lab dishes,

at the University of Wisconsin, found that there were dose
dependant improvements. Another study at the same facility
injected mice with human prostate cancer cells. These mice
developed malignancies. Some mice were fed plain water, whilst
two other groups of mice were given water mixed with different
concentrations of pomegranate extract.

Those mice that had water only had tumors that grew much faster
than the pomegranate and water groups. The quantities given to
the mice were comparable to that which people might get if they
drank pomegranate juice on a daily basis. And whilst pomegranate
juice hasn't been tested on humans with prostate cancer yet, the
results are very good.

The study did not indicate what aspects of pomegranate juice were
responsible for slowing down prostate tumour growth. But the
scientists involved did mention the antioxidant polyphenolic
compounds, which are more effective than green tea and red wine.

Pomegranate extract not only inhibited the growth of cancer cells, it

also worked by another means - apoptosis.

Apoptosis refers to a way that cells can die. Cancer growths are
characterized by an uncontrolled growth of cells that do not follow
the normal processes of cellular differentiation of regular, healthy
cells. Cellular differentiation means that the characteristics of a cell
change and get the functions that a mature, healthy cell would. For
example, liver cells have specialized liver functions, as do prostate,
breast, kidney, and all other types of cells. This is normal and
healthy.

In tumour growths, although some cells fully differentiate, many

only differentiate partially, and some not at all. And the tumors
which have more undifferentiated cells grow faster. So, inducing
cellular differentiation is one approach to cancer treatment. The
other two ways that doctors and researchers try to treat cancer is
by causing the death of cancerous cells. They do this through
apoptosis, mentioned above, and necrosis.
In apoptosis, cell death is programmed into the cell when it is
'born'. So the cell dies in a more natural way that is less destructive
on its environment. By this I mean it doesn't cause inflammation
and the damage associated with it to neighboring cells that may be
healthy. Cells die either when they reach cellular old age or when
their death benefits the body as a whole. Necrosis, on the other
hand, does cause inflammation.

Generally, prostate cancer grows very slowly, although it is

unpredictable and can grow quickly and spread.

Prostate Health Diet that Reduces Enlarged

Prostate
There are sixteen different supplements that you can add to your
prostate health diet. But let start with the ones you should start
using right away. The first one you should start using is beta-
sitosterol.

Beta-sitosterol

Beta-sitosterol is the main active ingredient in the herbs saw

palmetto and pygeum. Both of these herbs do not have enough
beta-sitosterol to be of real value in giving you prostate health.
Now, beta-sitosterol, which can be obtained from sugar cane pulp,
can be purchased in capsule doses of 300 - 600 mg, which gives
you an effective dose to eliminate your enlarged prostate. Pygeum
can only provide around 30 mg and you need upwards of 600 mg
daily.

Go to the Internet to find a good beta - sitosterol price and

quantity.

Flax Seed or Fish Oil

The nutrient to use for the best prostate health diet is flaxseed oil.
Flax seed oil contains more omega-3 than omega-6 and so it makes
it a good source of omega-3. The more omega-6 use, from olive oil
and other vegetables oils, the more prone you will be to prostate
cancer. This is not the case with omega-3 oil and this has been
verified through clinical studies.
Omega-3 protects the prostates cells and has anti-inflammatory
properties. Using fish oil can also be a better choice than flax seed
oil since your body digests it better.

Use 1 - 2 grams of flax seed or fish oil per day.

Soy Isoflavones

Soy Isoflavones have been shown in clinical studies to have good

effects on your prostate and should be added to your prostate
health diet. These isoflavones are flavones and contain no
photoestrogen so the have no estrogen effects in the body.

The active ingredients in the isoflavones are genestein and

daidzein. Buy a brand that has up to 40 mg of isoflavones Use this
quantity daily.

Ionic Minerals

The prostate needs minerals. Adding these to your prostate health

diet is critical. You cannot have good prostate health without plenty
of minerals and your regular diet cannot supply what you need.
Use the Ionic Minerals, which are liquids, but not the colloidal
minerals. Ionic Minerals are absorbed immediately into your blood
stream soon after they enter your mouth.

In addition to these ionic minerals, you need to make sure you get
plenty of zinc and selenium. The prostate has more zinc than any
other part of the body. So take 15 - 20 mg per day and not to
exceed 40 mg.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is another critical vitamin that you want to make sure

you get plenty of. If you are out in the sun a lot, then you will not
need to supplement with this vitamin. Otherwise, use up to 800 IU
of this vitamin.

Vitamin E

This is the next most important Vitamin you should supplement

with. Use up to 400 mg per day of the natural mixed tocopherols.
Clinical studies have shown that vitamin E can reduce and suppress
prostate cancer cells.

There you have it. Use, beta sitosterol, isoflavones, minerals,

vitamin D, and vitamin E in your prostate health diet and see
improvements in your prostate symptoms and health.
