Herbal Remedy for ProstateHerbal Remedy for Prostate The symptoms are a frequent and urgent need to urinate, difficulty or inability to empty the bladder and a weak urine stream. An infection is likely to be accompanied by a burning during urination, fever, shivering, pain behind the scrotum or painful ejaculation. As men age, the prostate typically enlarges - the reason is not clear. Depending on the degree of enlargement, the prostate presses against the urinary tract and causes the symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or Hypertrophy (BHP). A simple examination and blood test can help distinguish between cancer and BHP. Supplements can help mild to moderate BHP and can take a month before you will notice a difference. They are safe to take over long periods and with conventional medication. DO CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR as supplements may help mild prostatis but you need prompt medical intervention with prostate infections and cancer. Zinc - 25mg a day - has been shown to reduce the size of the gland and ease symptoms - if you take it for longer than a month, you need to add 2mg of copper. Vitamin E - 250mg a day - don't take it with anticoagulants - it's an antioxidant and will scavenge free radicals. Saw Palmetto - 160mg twice a day - can slow down prostate growth partly by altering hormone levels. It can be combined with nettle root both contain betasitosterol. Don't take over the counter cold remedies - and avoid caffiene and alcolhol where you can.
