6 Natural Remedies for Enlarged Prostate

• The Prostate Grows
• The prostate is a walnut-shaped gland that wraps
  around the urethra (the tube that outflows
  urine). Its part of a mans reproductive system.
  One of its main jobs is to add fluid (called
  semen) to sperm. Although the gland starts out
  small, it tends to enlarge as a man ages. An
  excessively enlarged prostate results in a
  disease known as benign prostatic hyperplasia
  (BPH). Eventually, an enlarged prostate can clamp
  down on the urethra, restricting the flow of
  urine from the bladder. This leads to problems
  such as frequent urination, difficulty in
  voiding, urinary leakage, and urinary tract
  infections.

Enlarged Prostate Treatments

• There are several treatment options for an
  enlarged prostate. Men can take alpha blocker
  drugs such as terazosin (Hytrin) to help relax
  the prostate muscles, or antibiotics for chronic
  prostatitis (which may occur alongside BPH). They
  can also take dutasteride (Avodart) or
  finasteride (Proscar) for reducing BPH symptoms.
  They might also undergo surgery to remove the
  extra prostate tissue. One common surgical
  procedure for BPH is known as transurethral
  resection of the prostate (TURP).

Saw Palmetto

• Saw palmetto is an herbal remedy that comes from
  a type of palm tree. Its been used in
  traditional medicine for centuries to relieve
  urinary symptoms, including those caused by an
  enlarged prostate. According to the National
  Institutes of Health (NIH), a few
  small-scale studies have suggested that saw
  palmetto might be effective for relieving BPH
  symptoms.

Beta-sitosterol

• This prostate remedy is a mixture taken from
  different plants that contain cholesterol-like
  substances called sitosterols. Several studies
  have found that beta-sitosterol can relieve
  urinary symptoms of BPH, including the strength
  of urine flow.

5
Pygeum

• Pygeum comes from the bark of the African plum
  tree and has been used in traditional medicine to
  treat urinary problems since ancient times. Its
  often used to treat BPH symptoms, especially in
  Europe. Because studies on pygeum havent been
  well designed, its hard to know for sure whether
  its effective. The American Academy of Family
  Physicians does not recommend its use.

Rye Grass Pollen Extract

• Rye grass pollen extracts are made from three
  types of grass pollen rye, timothy, and corn. A
  review of studies published in BJU International
  found that men who were taking rye grass pollen
  extracts reported an improvement in their
  symptoms compared to those who were taking a
  placebo
