Prostate Symptoms-Enlarged Prostate
Enlarged Prostate Symptoms
The symptoms produced by an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hypertrophy) (bph) are primarily involved with urination. Even though prostate surgery is always a potential, most cases can be treated with more conservative means including specific herbal and dietary supplements. More severe cases of enlarged prostate may require prescription medication such as Flomax. The symptoms include:
Difficulty getting urine flow started.
Dribbling after urination.
Blood in the urine.
Testing for Enlarged Prostate
Your physician can examine the prostate with a painless digital rectal exam. He will also test the urine for blood. The gold standard screening test for prostate cancer is the prostate-specific antigen (PSA). An excellent online self-assessment screening tool for not only enlarged prostate symptoms but a number of other common conditions is the Comprehensive Health Assessment.
Treating Enlarged Prostate Symptoms
Increasing sexual activity is good for the prostate. Emptying the gland of it's prostatic fluid content has the effect of reducing the volume and therefore the size of the gland. This, in turn reduces the intensity of prostate symptoms. Digital prostate massage which your physician can do, accomplishes the same effect.
Herbal Treatments for Enlarged Prostate
Pygeum africanum is the African Plum Tree. Extract from it's bark have been very good therapy for prostate symptoms in a number of good well designed studies.
Saw palmetto is the most popular remedy in the U.S. and is also supported by good clinical studies.
Other commonly used products include raw prostate concentrate, pumpkin seed, zinc, Korean Ginseng root and flaxseed oil.
