Prostate Health 101 – What Are Enlarged Prostate Remedies?

Enlarged prostate are hard to find, just as hard as having the problem itself. Are you worried that you might end up having an enlarged prostate operation because you have not found a good treatment? I'll discuss everything you want to know about prostate problems and how to find a good remedy.

Prostate problems start when men steps into old age, about 40 to 50 years old. Prostate enlargement is medically known as "Benign Prostate Hyperplasia" or the formation of non-cancerous and non-malignant tissue in the prostate gland. This build-up is due to the accumulated testosterone in the gland which is not excreted for a long time.

Symptoms of prostate enlargement are inflammation and swelling in the site, dribbling and thinning of the urine stream, difficulty starting urine stream, and frequent voiding. Most cases of prostate enlargement are accompanied by urinary tract infections (UTIs).

That is why you can see most men with prostate problems are wearing catheters.

Urinary tract gets an infection when the prostate gland starts to compress and blocks the flow of urine in the urethra. The urine stays longer inside the tract which makes a good place for bacterial growth. Urinary stasis can progress into kidney failure if not treated early.

Enlarged prostate remedies include drug regimen, home remedies, surgical procedure and medical alternatives like dietary supplements which can shrink the prostate. Drug regimen includes anti-inflammatory drugs (corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and pain relievers. Antibiotics are also prescribed to relieve the infection of the prostate as well as UTI.

One example of a home remedy for prostate enlargement is soaking in the shower or warm bath for 10-15 minutes.

This will help in prostate shrinkage. Remember that prolonged soaking in a bathtub might worsen your urinary tract infection. You can only stay up to 15 minutes. But if you want it longer, you just have to change the tub water.

Alternatives are much better than having an enlarged prostate operation. Most of these supplements are all-natural which are really good for the general prostate health. Make sure you pick the right brand. You can your doctor or other experts about it. Don't let prostate problems snatch away your happy future. Seek effective enlarged prostate remedies now.
