Buy Saw-Palmetto product. Take a look at a popular prostate formula called Prostate Power Rx.

As a man ages, it is very common for the prostate gland to enlarge. Doctors call this condition benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or benign prostatic hypertrophy. As the prostate enlarges, the layer of tissue surrounding it stops it from expanding, causing the prostate gland to press against the urethra like a clamp on a garden hose. The bladder wall becomes thicker and irritable. The bladder begins to contract even when it contains small amounts of urine, causing more frequent urination. Eventually, the bladder weakens and loses the ability to empty itself. Urine remains in the bladder. The narrowing of the urethra and partial emptying of the bladder cause many of the problems associated with prostate enlargement.
   Many symptoms of prostate enlargement stem from obstruction of the urethra and gradual loss of bladder function, which results in incomplete emptying of the bladder. The symptoms of prostate enlargement vary, but the most common ones involve changes or problems with urination, such as a hesitant, interrupted, weak stream; urgency and leaking or dribbling; and more frequent urination, especially at night. This is called nocturia.

Many effective pharmaceutical medicines are available to improve symptoms of prostate enlargement. However, there are also effective natural therapies, including the use of time-tested herbal products.

Men over 50 who have higher levels of testosterone have a higher risk of prostate cancer. The findings may mean that men should be cautious about testosterone replacement therapy, being tested in older men who see a decline in general health and vigor.

Treatment with equol, the major active form of daidzein, the estrogen-like compound found in soy, blocks prostate growth in rats.

A molecule produced in the intestine when soy is digested stops a hormone which can fuel prostate growth or cause baldness. Writing in the journal Biology of Reproduction, they said the finding could explain why Japanese men, who eat more soy, rarely have prostate cancer. They said the molecule could be used as a treatment for cancer and baldness. The team found that the molecule, equol, "handcuffs" the male hormone DHT - a by-product of testosterone. The researchers say this could be particularly important for men who have been diagnosed with either an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia), or cancer of the prostate. DHT has also been implicated in research into the causes of male pattern baldness.

Findings from a new animal study suggest that selenium use may decrease age-related DNA damage in the prostate and increase epithelial cell apoptosis. Therefore, dietary supplementation with the mineral could be useful in preventing prostate cancer. Dr. David J. Waters, from Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana, and colleagues evaluated the prostate glands of 49 elderly male dogs that were randomized to receive a regular diet or a diet supplemented with selenium for 7 months. Prostate cells and lymphocytes from selenium-treated dogs demonstrated significantly less DNA damage than cells from control animals. Although the exact mechanism was unclear, it did not appear to involve the plasma antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase. Animals treated with selenium also demonstrated significantly greater epithelial cell apoptotic activity than control animals. The authors state. "Further study of the process of carcinogenesis within the prostate of animal species vulnerable to spontaneous cancer development may provide important insights into the putative anticancer mechanisms of selenium and identify biomarkers that predict the prostate's response to Selenium."

   A. We are not aware of any reason not to use Passion Rx by those who have had their prostate removed. We don't suggest people with heart disease or heart medicines use Passion Rx.

Q. I went on your website and was very pleased with the information contained therein. I am 70 years old and suffer from benign prostate enlargement. I take Cardura 3mg doxazosin every evening to relax the muscles around the urethra and bladder so as to make it easier for me to pass water during the night. I take other medications like Thyroxene and take Testosterone Enantate injections once a month because of my very low levels of testosterone, as I had trouble with my Pituitary gland. I would like to try Beta Sitosterol, but can I have it on its own rather than with some herbs, such as Saw Palmetto, as I have been told that Saw Palmetto interferes with any benign prostate enlargement medication. Is it correct that this is so? I understand that Beta Sitosterol is a nutrient and not a herb.
   A. There is no evidence that saw palmetto interferes with benign prostate enlargement meds.
