Benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, is a chronic disease which is common in older men. Around 50 per cent of 60-year-old men are affected. BPH is the enlargement of the prostate gland. As it swells it places pressure on the urethra resulting in bladder and urinary problems including painful urination, difficulty starting or stopping the flow, and increased nighttime urination. As these symptoms could possibly be signs of more serious conditions, make sure you see your health care provider and get this checked.
If BPH is left untreated, urine can back up into the kidneys, leading to kidney damage and failure, and weakening of the bladder muscle so that it is not strong enough to expel all the urine. While treatment options for BPH include surgery and medicine to reduce the amount of tissue and increase the flow of urine, there are some natural remedies to treat the symptoms that have been used for many years.
Saw Palmetto can be used for treating benign prosthetic hyperplasia symptoms. It comes from the berries of the saw palmetto tree found in the West Indies and some parts of the Southern States. Research has shown that it may stop the prostate from further growth although it does not cure the condition.
When looking for a supplement, make sure that if contains 85% to 95% fatty acids and sterols, as these are the active ingredients. At the moment there are no known drug interactions, however, we always recommend that you consult your doctor. Side effects are uncommon but they have been reported include abdominal pain, nausea, and headaches.
Following the dose recommendations of your health care provider and take the supplement with meals to help reduce the likelihood of nausea.
