The prostate gland is an exocrine gland of the male reproductive system. Normally it is about the size of a walnut and found below the bladder surrounding the urethra. As men get older the prostate can become enlarged and lead to something called Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH). The enlargement of the prostate typically occurs from changes in hormonal balance as men age.

If a man is experiencing these symptoms, it is important that he seeks the advice of a medical practitioner to help prevent complications. There are also some botanicals and nutrients discussed below that can be taken regularly to help support prostate health:

FREQUENT

URINATION

at night?

Due to the location of the prostate, enlargement of this gland can lead to genitourinary tract symptoms like:

Urine retentionNocturia (night time urination)Frequent urination

Slow or weak urine streamBladder infections

Bladder stonesPain during ejaculation or urination

PYGEUM

This tree is a tall evergreen found in central and southern Africa. The bark has been used medicinally for thousands of years to treat urinary tract disorders and more specifically when symptoms are due to BPH. Studies have found that Pygeum is particularly helpful for reducing nocturia, increasing peak urine flow and reducing residual urine volume.

ZINC

Zinc plays many roles in the body. For prostate health, it helps to inhibit the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. DHT is important for prostate development in younger males but can cause detrimental changes to treatments for BPH and this is the enzyme zinc naturally inhibits.

SMALL-FLOWER WILLOWHERB

This is a botanical that has been used traditionally on many continents to treat ailments of the prostate gland. It was re-popularized in the 20th century. There are many species of willowherb belonging to the genus Epilobeum. Some claim it is the best botanical for remedying the symptoms of BPH and other prostatic conditions. It is antiseptic, antibacterial, an astringent and anti-inflammatory. It has also been used to treat incontinence in both men and women.

STINGING NETTLE

This is a medicinal herb that has been used since ancient times. It is used as a urinary tonic in both men and women. For men, it helps to alleviate some of the symptoms associated with BPH like: urinary frequency, nocturia, urinary retention and irritable bladder. Aside from helping with symptoms of BPH, Stinging nettle is quite nutritive. It contains as much vitamin C and carotene as spinach and other greens.

CRANBERRY

This is probably the most commonly known botanical for urinary tract infections. One thing to keep in mind, should you decide to consume Cranberry juice instead of the extract in supplement form, is that it should be one hundred percent sugar free juice. Sugar feeds bacteria and when trying to clear a urinary tract infection, sugar should be avoided. Cranberry prevents bacteria from adhering to the bladder walls. Urinary tract infections become more common in men with BPH and cranberry can help to treat and prevent these infections.

FREE PLANT STEROLS

Plant sterols are well known for their benefits on cholesterol levels in the body. Some animal studies have shown that they may also be beneficial for prostate health, as it has been found that they may inhibit the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT.

PUMPKIN

This fruit can be used to make delicious pie, a jack-o’-lantern at Halloween and as a natural medicine to help treat BPH. Phytosterol constituents found in pumpkin may be responsible for the relief from BPH symptoms like bladder discomfort and improvement of urine flow. It is suggested that pumpkin can improve bladder and urethral function.

SAW PALMETTO

This herb is commonly used in Europe for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is the most commonly used herb for the treatment of this issue and is often used instead of pharmaceutical therapy. It has also been used to treat non-bacterial prostatitis and other concerns of the male genitourinary tract. Studies also suggest that Saw palmetto may reduce sexual dysfunction associated with BPH. Several studies have been conducted using Saw palmetto in combination with some of the nutrients and botanicals listed below and many have found that these combinations performed as well as pharmaceuticals typically prescribed for BPH. It is suggested that the mechanism of action for Saw palmetto may involve increased metabolism and excretion of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) through competition for the same receptor sites.

SELENIUM

Preliminary evidence suggests that taking low doses of Selenium can help with genitourinary tract symptoms associated with BPH. Studies have also been conducted where Selenium has been used in combination with Saw palmetto and other nutrients and similar benefits were observed.

BPH can be very uncomfortable and at times painful for men. It is not something to leave untreated. Even if a man does not have symptoms, it is a common occurrence as men age, and taking preventative measures could help avoid significant discomfort in the future.
