What Age Group Among Men Is Affected The Most By BPH?

By: Eugene Williams

An enlarged prostate gland is a common occurrence for men as they age. The condition by which the prostate enlarges is called is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or benign prostatic hypertrophy. The problem of (BPH) is one that should be on all the minds of a middle aged male and even more so if prostate cancer has struck that particular family. Within this section the very best up to date information on how to possibly relieve and frequent urination and reduction of the prostate will be revealed.

What Causes (BPH)?

The exact cause of (BPH) is not known among researchers. It has been known that (BPH) occurs mainly in older men. As a result, researchers believe that factors related to aging and the testes may initiate the onset of (BPH). All men produce testosterone (a male hormone) throughout their lives and also a small amount of estrogen (a female hormone). For nearly all men as they age, the abundance of active testosterone in their blood decreases, which leaves a higher proportion of estrogen. Research conducted on animals has provided information that (BPH) may occur because the increased amount of estrogen within the gland stimulates the activity of substances that initiate cell growth.

Also dihydrotestosterone (DHT) a substance that is a derivative from testosterone in the prostate may influence the growth of the prostate. An enlarged prostate gland is possibly the result of an accumulation of (DHT) in the prostate. Research links older men with unusually high concentrations of (DHT) in their prostates.

What are the ingredients To Possibly Relieve Prostate Symptoms?

Saw Palmetto - An herb that works slowly to possibly preventing testosterone from breaking down into another form of the hormone (DHT) that is associated with prostate tissue growth.

Selenium - Actually boosts the bodies antioxidant capacity, as a result, may control cell damage in the prostate. In addition, it could aid in immune system function.

Stinging nettle The nettle seems to decrease the need for late night urination and decrease the obstruction to urinary flow. Throughout Europe stinging nettle is used for (BPH). A large number of adult males over 50 awake to pressure in the bladder.

Lycopene - Is a powerful antioxidant and belongs to a family of chemicals called carotenoids. There is some evidence that links high amounts of lycopene with a reduced risk of cancer, but the results are inconclusive.

Pumpkin Seeds - Are a good source of two unsaturated fatty acids called oleic and linoleic acid, which maybe beneficial in relieving symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland.

Pygeum Africanum Grows in the high plateaus of South Africa. The pygeum bark contains three groups of active constituents: phytosterols, the fatty acids ursolic and oleic acids, and ferulic esters of long chain fatty alcohols. Phytosterols are also plant sterols that aid in reducing high cholesterol levels. More than half of the men over 55 have enlarged prostate glands known as (BPH). Did you know that advanced cases could cause kidney damage, bladder infections, and sexual disabilities? Moreover, standard treatments include expensive surgical procedures that can result in bleeding, bladder damage and impotence.

Prostate gland problems are on a pandemic level with millions of men suffering from BPH and not even realizing its coming from their prostate.
