Saw palmetto – Derivatives of this herb are used to treat not only prostatitis, but also a prostate-related condition called benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) – a non-fatal, non-infectious natural affliction in which the prostate is enlarged. It occurs naturally to men over the age of 50, though it could also happen to younger men.
While there has been little by way of scientific data that would prove the efficacy of saw palmetto as a prostatitis cure, many men swear by it, and claim it has greatly helped reduce PSA levels and prostate size within only one month of treatment.

Quercetin - Quercetin is essentially a flavonoid, a substance found in citrus fruit. It has been proven to be effective in combination with ultrasound at 20kHz at 1 minute in the treatment of skin and prostate cancers. In fact, cancer cells in such a condition have been known to show a 90% mortality rate, with no mortality reflected in the normal cells surrounding the target area – meaning cancer cells mostly die while the normal cells don’t. This substance is a known inhibitor of mast cells, and is such is said to be effective in the treatment of chronic prostatitis.
Chronic prostatitis is a type of prostatitis that occurs more slowly than acute prostatitis, and the symptoms such as fever and pain are not as severe as with the acute version. However, it is also known to persist longer, and possibly even recur in the span of years.

Zinc supplements – This supplement has proven to be especially effective in combination with antibiotics in treating chronic prostatitis.

April 12th, 2010Six Tips For a Healthy Prostate
April 11th, 2010Sometimes, relief from prostate pain and discomfort will become a priority especially if you suffer from chronic prostatitis. I want to outline in this article, six ways which will help you to keep your prostate healthy. This article does not cover medication or prostate massage.
Frequent ejaculation by men, whether by masturbation or by sexual intercourse, has been found to keep the prostate gland healthy. This was the conclusion at the end of a study done by The Cancer Council Victoria in Australia who wanted to see if there was a connection between ejaculation and prostate cancer. The study found that the ducts are cleared out by ejaculation and the more frequent this is, the better as it clears the gland of toxins, carcinogens and other debris.
Homeopathic treatment of the prostate is rarely mentioned. This type of medicine can give excellent and long standing results and can help relieve the pain when it is present, eg. in chronic prostatitis or when the bladder is irritated form being overactive. The medicines recommended are Thuja Occidentalos, Cantharis, Solidago Virga and Hydrangea (Seven Barks). These also give relief if you experiencing painful orgasms.
The German word for sitting is ’sitz’ and that has given its name to a type of hot bath which is ideal for stimulating the blood flow in the pelvic region. The bath is an upright one in which only the buttocks and hips are immersed in the water. You can add pine needle oil or lavender to make it more pleasurable. You need to sit in this type of bath for at least 30 minutes because you have to allow the heat time to penetrate all that fat and muscles before it will give you relief from your pain. Once you have finished spray the area with as much cold water as you can bear. The cold water is acting like a sponge in squeezing out the blood vessels and you are getting rid of all the toxins and stagnant blood.
Green tea has had a lot of hype and publicity. In the case of treatment of the prostate, there is good reason as it has this marvelous ability to actually kill off cancer cells while leaving the healthy ones in place. This process is called apoptosis. This normally occurs in the body all the time but green tea is one of the few substances which does this essential task and which you can drink ! Green tea should not be consumed in great quantities as it contains caffeine.
The top foods for prostate conditions are :- green leafy vegetables, soya, nuts and fruit. Tomatoes contain lycopene (found in the red skin) which can help the prostate. Try to avoid large consumption of red meat, coffee and alcohol. Any foods which are rich in selenium, Vitamin E and folic acid are definitely recommended.
Urinating when standing is not as effective as when you are sitting down, so the latter position is recommended. Why ? It is because the sitting position helps you to empty the bladder more efficiently thus getting rid of the toxins. One exercise to tone the muscles in the pelvic area can be done by squeezing the buttocks. This can be done as often as you like, but the number should be increased gradually.
I have outlined in this article six ways to help maintain a healthy prostate which are valid alternatives to medication which may have some undesirable side effects. These are also things to consider before deciding on surgery and/ or massage.

What You Need To Know About The Prostate And Its Diseases
April 11th, 2010I had heard of prostate diseases for years but never thought much about it till a friend developed prostate problems.
His situation was enough to get me curious about prostate diseases.
First I learned that the prostate is a doughnut-shaped cluster of glands at the bottom of the bladder between the rectum and the base of the penis. It produces most of the fluid in semen.
I then learned that there are three main diseases of the prostrate: cancer, prostatitis and prostrate enlargement.
First let’s talk about the ‘big one’, cancer.
In the USA, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death for men after lung cancer.
African-American men are more than twice as likely to get the disease as any other ethnic group in the world. No one knows why this is so.
Prostate cancer is primarily a disease of aging. About 80 percent of all cases occur in men over sixty-five.
However, the rate of prostate cancer is rapidly rising in all men, even those under fifty. Generally, the younger a man is when he is diagnosed with prostate cancer, the worse his prognosis. Its increase among younger men points to the role of diet and exposure to environmental toxins in the development of the disease.
Prostatitis (prostate inflammation) is common in men of all ages. The usual cause is infectious bacteria that invade the prostate from another area of the body.
These can be either acute or chronic infections. Acute infections come on suddenly and may include fever and chills, pain and burning on urination and ejaculation, frequent urge to urinate while passing only small amounts of urine and blood in the urine. Symptoms of chronic prostatitis are similar but usually milder than the acute infection.
Prostatitis usually responds well to home care and antibiotic treatment.
Prostate enlargement seems to be a natural process, often associated with aging, and not necessarily a disease, but the gradual enlargement of the prostate. In the USA it occurs in about half of all men over fifty.
The major symptom is the need to pass urine frequently, perhaps with pain or burning feelings.
As prostate enlargement is often not a serious problem (though it depends on the case), let’s talk about the other two prostate diseases.
Prostate cancer is usually a slow growing cancer, often with no symptoms until its advanced stages. Symptoms include: pain or a burning sensation during urination, frequent urination, a decrease in the size and force of urine flow, an inability to urinate, blood in the urine, and lower back discomfort. However, these symptoms may be caused by benign enlargement or prostatitis. To get an accurate reading of the condition professional evaluation is of course recommended.
For treatment, testing is important. This may include a rectal exam (which can be rather painful) and/or a blood test. Ultrasound scanning is one of a number of other tests.
Unfortunately, prostate cancer can be difficult to diagnose in its early stages. Many cases are diagnosed only after the cancer has spread outside the gland.
Some of the treatment options for prostate cancer include:
Experimental therapies such as cryoablation (freezing of cancer cells) and laser surgery are sometimes used.
If the cancer has spread into the capsule of the gland, the standard approach is some form of radiation therapy. Try to avoid this, as it leaves men impotent 50 percent of the time.
Removal of the gland may be recommended but consider that about 50 percent of men who have this done, even with the new “nerve sparing” techniques, become impotent. Watchful waiting, with nutritional support and lifestyle change, is becoming the preferred approach if the cancer is in the early stages.
Many consider prostate cancer to be one of the most over treated diseases in America. Physicians in Europe have long used a conservative nutritional approach with good results.
Research has shown that soybeans and soy products, such as tofu, soy flour and soymilk, have cancer-fighting powers due to the presence of a protein called genistein. It appears to be particularly effective against prostate cancer, but also works against breast cancer in women and colon cancer in both sexes.
Prostrate cancer prevention often includes a whole-foods diet, which was intriguing to me. Some suggestions include:
Eat whole grains, raw nuts and seeds, and brown rice. Also broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower and carrots, pumpkin, squash and yams. This type of diet is important for both prevention and healing.
Also include apples, fresh cantaloupe, all kinds of berries, Brazil nuts, cherries, grapes, legumes (including chickpeas, lentils and red beans) and plums.
Try drinking freshly made vegetable and fruit juices daily.
Include foods high in zinc, such as whole grain cereals or brewer’s yeast.
Use cold-pressed organic oils such as sesame, safflower or olive oil for essential fatty acids.
Eliminate red meat, alcohol and caffeine.
Strictly avoid: junk foods and refined foods. Instead of salt, use a kelp or potassium substitute. A little blackstrap molasses or pure maple syrup is a good, natural sweetener. Use whole wheat or rye instead of white flour.
These are good suggestions, but always seek counsel and alternative opinions before deciding which treatments or diets to use.
For prostatitis treatment, I found two general categories, one being home treatment, and then other treatments, generally.
For home treatment some recommendations are:
Drink 8 to 12 glasses of fluid daily. Extra fluids help flush the urinary tract clean.
Eliminate all alcohol and caffeine from your diet.
Keep stress under control.
Hot baths help soothe pain and reduce stress Aspirin or ibuprofen may help ease painful urinary symptoms
Certain herbal teas may help.
There are various types of hydrotherapy that a professional can advise you about.
Eat 1 to 4 ounces of raw pumpkin seeds every day. They are rich in zinc. Alternatively, take pumpkinseed oil in capsule form.
Get regular exercise. Do not ride a bicycle which may put pressure on the prostate.
Other treatment options include:
Treatment with antibiotics and analgesics may be necessary.
However, long-term use of antibiotics can lead to bacterial resistance, which necessitates more potent drugs, more expense, and more medical complications.
So “do it yourself” seems promising here, but of course one should always seek professional medical advice.
I would summarise what I researched that, as with any major disease an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Try to keep a healthy lifestyle, do things that seem useful and rewarding to you and don’t be slow about getting medical checkups if you have any sense that something in your body may not be up to par.

Prostate Health Supplements and Information All Men Should Know About
April 9th, 2010The prostate is a walnut-size gland of the male mammalian reproductive system. Its main function is to secrete and store the seminal fluid (one of the constituents of sperm). In women, Skene’s glands are sometimes referred to as a female prostate. The most common problems of the prostate are benign prostatic hypertrophy, Prostatitis and prostate cancer.
Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) - is characterized by the fact that the volume of the prostate increases. In this case, the passage of urine is made difficult. BPH thus increases the risk of urinary retention (lack of ability to urinate) and infection of the prostate. It is often linked to the diminution of the male hormone production that occurs in older people. Age increases the risk of BPH; that’s why prostate issues occur more in older males. There is a certain increase in prostate volume at 75% in men over 50 years. Clinical signs may be present in almost 100% of men over 90 years.
Conventionally, several drugs are available: doxazosin , Flomax, Proscar and Avodart. They act on the muscles that control the emptying of the bladder. More recently, drugs that reduce the level of the hormone that causes the increase in prostate volume were allowed on the market. Those available drugs have greatly helped improve the quality of life of those suffer from BPH. However, none of existing drugs so far can not cure BPH. The surgery may be necessary.
Prostatitis – is the inflammation of the prostate, a common condition in middle-age men. If the prostate grows too large it may constrict the urethra and impede the flow of urine, making urination difficult and painful, or completely impossible. Prostatitis can be acute or chronic. Acute prostatitis may be accompanied by fever, chills and urinary retention. Most of the times, the infection is caused by Escherichia coli. The chronic prostatitis is often due to the proliferation of Escherichia coli, more rarely of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in case of urogenital tuberculosis. Symptoms are chills, fever, lower back pain, body aches and frequent and painful urination.
Prostatitis is treated in several ways depending on its severity and the therapists, but most methods used are antibiotics, surgery, massage, and herbal medicine.
Prostate cancer – is the worst prostate problem men over 50 can have. Not only because the disease is painful, but also, it could cause death to the victim. The prostate cancer share similar symptoms with other prostate-related problems. Although pain in the lower back and difficulty of ejaculation are rarely present in other prostate issues.
This type of cancer develops from the tissues of the prostate when cells of those tissues mutate to multiply uncontrollably. The disease can spread (metastasize) from the prostate to other parts of the body (especially in the lymph nodes). The treatment is done by surgery, radiotherapy, hormone therapy and sometimes chemotherapy, or a combination of these methods.
Eat a healthy diet by eating fresh fruits and vegetable abundantly. Eating fruit not only give you antioxidants, but also fructose. Fructose can stimulate the production of vitamin D that will stop the subsequent growth of malignant tumors. The absence or lack of vitamin D can increase the risk of developing cancer cells particularly on the prostate. Eat more fish and reduce fat in your diet. Increase your sex life. Many researches show that men who live a healthy lifestyle and have regular sexual intercourse are less apt to develop prostate cancer. Consuming lots of omega 3, drink plenty of fluid, most importantly fresh carrot, radish and watercress juice.

Natural Cures: Prostatitis-Fighting Supplements
April 9th, 2010For people who are more into natural cures, prostatitis is also a condition that could benefit from them. If you already have prostatitis, clean living is not enough to alleviate the condition – carefully observing your medication and natural supplements would help speed your recovery along.
A person who is suffering from prostatitis may suffer from fever, chills and persistent groin and joint pain. This occurs because the prostate gland swells – usually due to bacterial infection – which in turn causes pain when urinating, and a constant flu-like feeling, among other easily detectible symptoms. Treatment via regular ingestion of medications such as alpha blockers, antibiotics and pain relievers would sometimes be enough, but there are some who claim that natural cures work even better. Here are some of the more popular natural cures prostatitis patients could avail of.
Prostatitis is generally curable, but this doesn’t apply to all cases. There is a type of prostatitis that is recurrent; this involves bacteria that doesn’t go away immediately. Even when using natural cures, prostatitis could be an especially tricky condition. No matter which herbal medication you choose, it is important to know if it will be harmful or helpful to the medical treatments (radiation therapy, medications, etc) that you may be receiving in the meantime.

Enlarged Prostate: Examination, Treatments And Symptoms
April 8th, 2010Understanding enlarged prostate symptoms is important to keep you healthy. When an individual stops growing, the prominent changes that happen in the body will end as well. Then, the aging process starts and, once again, changes happen both internally and externally. For middle-aged men, maintaining the health of the prostate is one important thing that should be considered. In relation to the function of the prostate and its location, a healthy prostate condition is linked to the health of both the reproductive system and the urinary system.
In some cases, the prostate becomes enlarged as men grow older. In fact, the risk of enlarged prostate is higher the older a man gets. The prostate is located surrounding the bladder and thus, common enlarged prostate symptoms are normally related to the bladder where the enlarged prostate gland will press against it. As the prostate enlarges furthermore, the pressure increases, and the bladder starts showing common enlarged prostate symptoms, such as difficulty to start urinating, problem to completely empty the bladder, and in several occasions, uncontrollable small releases of urine.
Other common symptoms are pain with urination and ejaculation, increased urinary frequency, low back and abdominal pain, and blood during urination or ejaculation. Some people also report that they have problems to achieve and maintain an erection as well as facing difficulty to ejaculate. If you are experiencing these symptoms of enlarged prostate, then you should get yourself checked out as soon as possible.
Prostate examination
All these enlarged prostate symptoms should be examined carefully to determine the severity of the problem. Men over the age of fifty are recommended to undergo regular prostate examination. This is an excellent time to tell the doctor about any enlarged prostate symptom that you feel so he can perform a prostate examination to determine the source of the problems. Prostate examination is not an invasive procedure and generally it only involves inserting a gloved, lubricated finger into the anus for an internal examination. After the doctor has completed the procedure, he will address the symptoms that you experience.
The important thing is that if you experience those symptoms, you should consult with your doctor immediately to find what the problem exactly is. The symptoms may only indicate a natural enlarged prostate condition, but they can also indicate the development of dangerous condition like prostate cancer. Avoiding necessary prostate examination can lead to death so do not procrastinate and take necessary prostate tests. If you know what you are dealing with, then you can make a sound decision about the treatment that you will take.
Enlarged prostate treatments
There are two types of medication considered as an effective enlarged prostate treatment. The first is an alpha blocker used to relax the wall of the bladder so you can urinate easier. Study showed that this medication works in approximately seventy-five percent of men. After you take the medication, you should notice an improvement of the enlarged prostate symptoms within the first few days.
The second type of medications is finasteride. The medication has a proven track record to shrink the prostate although sometimes it needs up to one year to give the desired results. You should consult your doctor before taking any medication and this usually depends on how big the enlarged prostate is.
Another alternative treatment is to use some kind of herbal treatment. Saw palmetto is a famous herbal alternative for enlarged prostate. It has been tested and it shows promising end result. Study indicated that you should start noticing an improvement within three months. If you do not notice any difference then you should consider other treatments. Surgery is another enlarged prostate treatment and although it has become less common, it is still considered as an effective treatment. Normally you will need to be hospitalized and let some recovery time if you select this enlarged prostate treatment.
Enlarged prostate and prostate cancer
Enlarged prostate symptoms overlap with those of prostate cancer, but you should remember that an enlarged prostate is not a certain indicator that you are suffering from prostate cancer. Usually it is difficult to detect prostate cancer through a rectal examination because it needs to have a considerable size. In many occasions, prostate cancer is diagnosed through blood tests. When you understand the differences between these two conditions, you can become less worry rather than following the common misunderstanding saying that it indicates the presence of cancer. If you experience enlarged prostate or prostate cancer symptoms, you should consult with your doctor and undergo necessary tests.
Even if you are diagnosed with prostate cancer, you should not feel that this is the end of the world. Nowadays, there are various treatments that you can use to get rid the cancer. Recent treatment methods have become more effective than what were available some years ago. You should feel positive and assured that the cancer can be cured and gotten rid of.

What Every Man Needs to Know About Prostatitis – Inflammation of the Prostate
April 8th, 2010Prostatitis simply means an inflammation of the prostate gland. The symptoms are uncomfortable at best; more often they are extremely painful and can also be dangerous. Symptoms may include pain and swelling in the area of the prostate, fever, chills, pain in the lower back, burning or painful urination, a need to urinate frequently and get up in the night, dribbling, fatigue and body aches, and pain with ejaculation. Prostatitis can severely affect the quality of life. Rigorous activity, sports, exercise-even sitting for any length of time in an office, theater or at a sporting event may become too painful to tolerate. And as for sex – it’s simply not an option.
The statistics are alarming. It’s estimated that over 50% of all men will suffer from prostatitis some time in their lives. And what’s worse is prostatitis is no respecter of age. It can strike any adult male – and with painful consequences.
According to the American Foundation for Urologic Disease, 25% of all office visits by young and middle-aged men for genital and urinary problems are the result of prostatitis. It hits men in the prime of life and also is considered to be the most common of all diseases among middle-aged men.
Adding to the problem is the fact that contemporary medicine really doesn’t know much about prostatitis. The Prostate Foundation has termed it “the bastard child” of urology. Though it is the most widespread disease of the prostate, it’s also the least understood and the least researched. As a consequence, it is frequently misdiagnosed.
Physicians sometimes have difficulty distinguishing between the symptoms of prostatitis and benign prostate enlargement (BPH). A Harvard University study showed that urologists seeing patients with the same symptoms diagnosed them with prostatitis if they were under 50 and with BPH if they were over 50. In addition, there are four types of prostatitis, the most common of which is unfortunately the one that is the most baffling.
Prostatitis can be either acute or chronic. That is to say that it can have a sudden onset and be relatively short-lived, or be an ongoing and aggravating problem.
Acute prostatitis is likely to occur intermittently. It can cause fever, bladder discomfort, frequent and burning urination, and blood or pus in the urine. It can also result in infertility.
Chronic prostatitis is ongoing and usually increases with time. Its symptoms may include frequent urination, blood in the urine, a burning sensation, discomfort in the prostate area and lower back, painful ejaculation and even impotence.
Nonbacterial prostatitis is the most common form of the disease, but because it is also the least understood, it’s the most difficult to treat. Nonbacterial prostatitis is frequently a chronic, painful condition found in men of any age. Symptoms may disappear and then return suddenly. Though no evidence of bacteria is found, semen and other prostate fluids contain cells that the body produces to fight infection.
Doctors often treat nonbacterial prostatitis with antibiotics and drugs that relax the muscles of the prostate gland, but these treatments have not been proven to be effective. In fact, they often do not work at all and can have unpleasant side effects as well.
The good news is, there are several herbal remedies that have been shown in clinical studies to help fight and in many cases – conquer prostate problems, including prostatitis. These herbs include pygeum africanum, saw palmetto and nettle root extract.
