Many men are personally aware of some sort of prostate problem by the age of fifty. Recent TV and Newspaper articles have publicised some high profile Australians with prostate cancer. Medical guidelines advise that once you get to the age of fifty, or sooner if you have relatives with prostate cancer, you need regular checkups. So what do you need to know or do?

The Three Types of Prostate Problems:

Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer seen in men. Treatments with medical specialists include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and hormonal therapies. Natural medicines may be of benefit to additionally support your energy and immune system during and after the above treatments.

Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) is characterized by swelling of the prostate. Far from being “benign,” this condition can wreak havoc on your life. Affecting half of all men over 40 and three-quarters of those over 65, BPH can disrupt your sex life and cause trouble and inconvenience with urination.

Prostatitis is a condition characterized by burning during urination or pain in the pelvic region. It can strike men at any age and does not respond well to conventional antibiotic treatments.

Do You Have Symptoms of Prostate Problems?

• Needing to urinate “urgently”
• Trouble getting started
• Waking at night, often multiple times, to urinate.
• Dribbling.
• Poor slow stream
• Burning feeling
• Painful urination
• Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.

NB Some men with prostate cancer have no warning symptoms. Hence checkups are essential.

How do prostate problems begin?

Many factors can affect your prostate health. They include nutrition, environmental toxins, chronic stress, constipation, muscle tension, immune system deficiencies, and even dental toxicities.

Challenged by these factors, the prostate becomes susceptible to infection, inflammation and disease from bacteria, yeasts, viruses, STDs and other microorganisms.
