Prostate Enlargement |
|
Introduction:Enlargement of the prostate is common especially after middle age. This results in urethral obstruction which impedes urination and can lead to abdominal urine retention. |
|
To sum it up: Between the ages of 40 and 59 years many men experience nocturnal urgency, with a dull ache in the lower stomach area or even blood in the semen or urine. Retained urine, if untreated, can lead to prostitis or cystitis and lead to dangerous pressure on the kidneys and bladder. |

Nutritional Advice:Consume plenty of zinc-rich foods, as this normalizes testosterone production. Zinc can boost the immune defenses, but excessive intake can undermine and impede the immune system (Contact Bio-care Tel: 0121 433 3727) Foods which are rich in zinc include: sea vegetables, organically grown pumpkin seeds, pumpkins themselves, sunflower seeds, garlic, capsicums, mushrooms, bilberries and soya beans. Steer absolutely clear of coffee, tea, alcohol, sugar and refined foods. Eat plenty of grains, fresh vegetables and fruit. Drink lots of barley water and water with lemon juice. Drink herbal teas rich in kidney cleansing herbs. Herb Quality:A large proportion of our herbs are grown in English soils, harvested using bio-chemistry analysis and many but not always, processed fresh, which heightens their remedial properties. The majority are grown organically and or sustainably wild-crafted. All manufacturing is carried out using licensed good manufacturing practice. DO NOT MIX HERBAL MEDICINE AND GP PRESCRIBED MEDICATION WITHOUT THE PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR GP OR PRACTIONER |
Natural Healing:Some medical practitioners feel that the cause of the enlargement is an accumulation of testosterone in the prostate itself. Using up the testosterone is possibly an answer, continue sport and work with continued zeal, if you can. If the prostate feels hot and unbearably inflamed, and urination is painful. Please seek professional help. Take regular exercise to increase circulation and oxygen to the area. Do not wear tight trousers. Hot and cold showers will also increase circulation and oxygen to the area.
