Enlarged Prostate Treatment
Use herbal remedies in enlarged prostate treatment and prostatitis treatment to achieve a mild cure instead of surgery.
The prostate is part of a man's reproductive system. It is found in front of the rectum and just below the bladder, which stores urine.
The prostate wraps around a tube (the urethra) that carries urine from the bladder out through the tip of the penis.
The prostate's main role is to produce an essential portion of the seminal fluid that carries sperm.
This walnut-shaped gland starts to kick in near puberty and continues to grow and grow.
This enlargement doesn't usually cause symptoms until after age 40, and it usually doesn't cause problems until age 60 or later.
Prostate disorders
Most men over the age of 60 (and some in their 50s) develop some prostate problems symptoms. The three most common disorders are benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate; prostatitis, an inflammatory infection; and prostate cancer. BPH is so common that some physicians consider it a normal consequence of aging in males.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) occurs in older men; the prostate often enlarges to the point where urination becomes difficult. Symptoms include needing to go to the toilet often (frequency) or taking a while to get started (hesitancy). If the prostate grows too large, it may constrict the urethra and impede the flow of urine, making urination difficult and painful and in extreme cases completely impossible.
Ignoring prostate problems, as some men are, isn't a smart idea. Left untreated, prostate problems can get progressively worse, become more painful, and can lead to dangerous complications, including bladder and kidney infections.
