As we reach the age of fifty or so, or sometimes even by age 40 or so, many men develop an enlarged
prostate gland. Some fortunate men don’t experience any symptoms, but many of us suffer significant and life-changing symptoms. Fortunately, there are prostate treatments that can eliminate, or at least reduce the severity of these symptoms in most cases.
Sometimes we can’t get a good night’s sleep because we’re up every few hours to go to the bathroom. Or even during the day, we experience a sudden and urgent need to urinate, so we need to structure our days so we’re never far from a bathroom. Sometimes we dribble, or actually find ourselves unable to hold it. We may experience discomfort, even pain.
Prostate treatments range from over-the-counter formulations, to prescription drugs that work in a couple of different ways, to surgery.
The causes of an enlarged prostate aren’t completely understood, but it’s clear that there’s a connection to increased levels of DHT, or dihydrotestosterone, which is formed by the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase on testosterone itself. DHT accumulates in prostate tissue, causing the growth of more prostate tissue, which can exert pressure on the urethra.
Over the counter prostate treatments focus on inhibiting the activity of the enzyme. The most popular formulas use saw palmetto, pumpkin seed or Pygeum, or some combination of these.
Saw palmetto has been studied extensively, and is widely used in Europe. It is less-used in the United States, where prescription drugs such as Proscar that do approximately the same thing are more widely used, although they are much more expensive, have more side effects, and are only very slightly more effective (if at all), according to most studies.
Prescription drug prostate treatments such as Flomax work by a different mechanism—they relax muscle fibers in the prostate, around the urethra, and in the bladder neck. This can allow for a freer urine stream and better emptying of the bladder, but again, they can cause significant side effects.
For those men seeking non-prescription prostate treatments, there is a very interesting, safe, and effective formulation called Ayurstate. It’s a blend of eight herbs which have been used in India for thousands of years to treat prostate problems, as part of the Ayurvedic medical tradition recently popularized in the West by Deepok Chopra.
The fifty or so phytochemicals in Ayurstate are said to have some 250 beneficial actions on the body, including:
●Inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase activity, blocking the production of DHT
●Relaxation of smooth muscles in the bladder and prostate
●Reducing inflammation in the urethra, and elsewhere in the body
●Balancing testosterone-estrogen levels
●Reducing prostate size
●Promoting strong urine flow
●Reducing nighttime urination
●Relief from pain and discomfort caused by an enlarged prostate
●Improved ejaculation
