Prostate enlargement
is commonly experienced by men entering their midlife. It is a
condition in which men’s prostate gland is enlarged but not
cancerous. Enlarged
prostate is called Benign
prostatic hypertrophy, Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or
benign prostatic obstruction. It enlarges the gland by compressing
it and pinches the urethra. Enlarged prostate restricts urine flow from the
bladder, leads to frequent urination problems, urine leakage and/or urinary
tract infections.
The
major function of prostate is to produce an essential portion of the seminal
fluid that carries sperm. This gland is located just below man's bladder and
starts to develop in near puberty age, continues to grow and enlarge. The
enlargement does not normally come with symptoms till after age of 40, and it
usually does not pose problems until age 60 or later.
Some
men ignore the signs of prostate problems but that is not a clever idea as it
will do more harm when it could no longer be ignored. Prostate problems when
left untreated, can get progressively worse, excessively painful, and can lead
to dangerous complications, including bladder and kidney infections
.
Adjustments
in diet can assist in relieving some discomforts associated with enlarged prostate
and, in some cases, may reduce the chances of developing prostate cancer, which
is the purpose of this article – your health is your joy!
Below
are some handy homemade natural remedies for the treatment and prevention of
men prostate enlargement to assist:
1. Eat pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds are used
by German doctors to treat difficult urination that accompanies an enlarged
prostate that is not cancerous. The seeds contain diuretic properties and
plenty of zinc, which helps repair and build the immune system. The tastiest
way to enjoy pumpkin seeds is to eat them plain. Remove the shells and don't
add salt. You can also try a tea. Crush a handful of fresh seeds and place in
the bottom of a 1-pint jar. Fill with boiling water. Let cool to room
temperature. Strain and drink a pint of pumpkin seed tea a day.
2. Make and drink watermelon tea, the Amish use the beverage to flush out the system, according to AgingFit. Enjoy a slice of watermelon and spit the seeds into a cup. When you have one-eighth of a cup of watermelon seeds, put them in a one-pint jar and fill it with boiling water. Let the tea cool, strain it and drink it. Drink one pint of tea every day for 10 days.
3.
Prepare drink from corn
silk, Amish men have used this remedy for generations. AgingFit suggests that
when fresh corn is in season, cut the silk from six ears of corn. Put them in
one quart of water, boil it, simmer for 10 minutes, then drain it and drink.
Drink three cups a week.
4. Fight
prostate cancer and tumour growth with seafoods. Try to get at least two
servings of fish high in omega-3 oils, such as tuna, mackerel, or salmon.
5.
Eating soy foods is
an easy and good way to help nip prostate problems in the bud. Soy-based foods
contain phytoestrogens, which are thought to help reduce testosterone
production, which is believed to aggravate prostate cancer growth. The
phytoestrogens are believed to limit the growth of blood capillaries that form
around tumours of the prostate.
6. Add more tomatoes to your diet. Studies
have shown that as little as 2 servings of tomatoes (including cooked tomatoes)
a week can help men reduce their risk of prostate cancer by half. These red balls
are full of lycopene, an antioxidant compound that helps fight cancer.
7.
Eating healthy diet can
help fight against enlargement of prostate. According to Mayo
Clinic, consuming
vegetables that are high in vitamin C and zinc are best for preventing BPH and
relieving its symptoms
8. Maintain Good Healthy Lifestyle - Drink 8 glasses
of water a day, limit intake of fatty foods and red meats, watch alcohol
intake. Studies have shown that beer can raise prolactin levels in the body,
which can lead to prostate enlargement.
