Wondering how to prevent prostate enlargement? Read health tips for preventing enlarged prostate then!

In previous blog posts we have been getting familiar with some of the most common male prostate problems like prostate enlargement, prostatitis and prostate cancer. This time I am going to talk about how to prevent prostate enlargement early in your life.

Are you already in your senior years and have problems because of enlarged prostate? If so, this information will not be as useful to you as it would be 30 years ago.

Nonetheless, you can still take advantage of the prostate health tips below just to prevent your prostate from further growth.

The prostate tips that I am about to share with you have even helped some men with shrinking enlarged prostate, even though they are not regarded as medicine at all.With that said, here is the first prostate health tip every man should follow:

Regular sexual activity helps prevent prostate enlargement

That is right, you have read this correctly. Regular sexual activity (be it intercourse or masturbation) will help in preventing your prostate to enlarge itself and cause problems and suffering!

But being sexually active is not enough. You actually have to have regular orgasms if you want this to work since prostate is doing its job during your orgasms.

What means having »regular sexual activity«? Well, some doctors say 2 to 3 orgasms per week will be enough to keep your prostate healthy, but if you do it once (or even twice) a day, that will bring you even better results in the long run.

Just remember, consistency is the key here! Now lets move on to the second tip:

Get regular prostate checks to prevent prostate enlargement

Make sure to get regular appointments with your doctor to check how big your prostate is and how it is growing with time.

This is especially advisable for men who have (had) fathers, brothers or grandfathers suffering from enlarged prostate and for all men who are 40 years old or more.

By doing this, you will keep control of your prostate size and you will spot potential problems before they actually cause suffering to you. If you have not had your prostate checked for a long time now, I advise you to do that as soon as possible.

Eating healthy food prevents prostate enlargement

If you remember my previous post about different ways to shrink enlarged prostate, you know that eating certain types of food can reduce the size of enlarged prostate. The same food can be used for preventing prostate enlargement.

Foods like cranberry juice, lycopene tomatoes and saw palmetto for instance, are great way to prevent your prostate from getting bigger. That is why you should include as many of these ingredients in your diet.

On the contrary, avoid eating unhealthy foods like fast, fat rich and junk food as it can also affects the growth of your prostate.

As you see, the most important factors in preventing prostate enlargement are regular sexual activity, eating healthy food and having regular checks at the doctor.

If you stick to only the three things mentioned above on regular basis, the chances of you suffering from enlarged prostate will decrease significantly!

Now lets see how it is possible to shrink the prostate:

Surgeries to shrink enlarged prostate

While surgeries have been used very commonly as prostate enlargement treatment, they should only be considered as a solution when a man has serious problems with his enlarged prostate.

By serious problems I mean difficulties like not being able to urinate, urinary tract infections and when there are stones in the blatter. Why should surgeries be used only with serious problems?

Because of the potential complications that come with such enlarged prostate treatment. To name just a few of these complications: erection impotence problems, inability to have children anymore and reduced sensitivity in the penis.

Shrinking enlarged prostate with drug and medicine treatments

Drug and medicine treatments are perhaps the most common or frequently used for shrinking enlarged prostate. You will get most of these drugs prescribed to you by the doctors.

There are many kinds available. To name just a few of them: allylestrenol, lycopine, dutasteride, proscar and flowmax.

Some of these drug treatments have side effects. For instance, by using dutasterine and proscar your risk lowering your libido and even developing a certain types of prostate cancer.

Natural or herbal supplements for shrinking enlarged prostate

There are many natural supplements available on the market that can help you shrink your enlarged prostate. They generally come in forms of pills or capsules and are produced naturally as extracts from healthy plants and herbs.

One of the most effective natural or herbal treatment for prostate enlargement is Saw Palmeto. You can order Saw Palmeto extracts online or get it in the stores.

There are also other natural or herbal treatment for enlarged prostate that seems to be very effective with shrinking, such as Goji Juice, Pygeum Africanum and Flaxseed Lignans.

Eating foods that shrink enlarged prostate

Some men have shrinked their enlarged prostate by eating foods that contains beta-sitosterol.

This is because beta-sitosterol does not only help you lower the cholesterol level in your blood, but also helps you reduce the size of your prostate. You will find beta-sitosterol in foods like black cumin seeds, avocado, corn oils and soybeans.

Another vegetable that helps you reduce the prostate are tomatos, which means including tomatoes in your diet will also help you with shrinking.

There are many more treatments that can be (or are) used to shrink your enlarged prostate. Perhaps I should also mentioned Lupron Depot shots and Kegel exercises that are used to treat pain and swelling from enlarged prostate.

What are the causes of enlarged prostate? Get informed about the prostate enlargement causes!

If you are looking for information about the causes of enlarged prostate, make sure to read this article! Among the things you will discover is what causes prostate enlargement and which age groups of men are most likely to develop enlarged prostate.

To begin by saying that men who are most likely to develop an enlarged prostate (and further on have difficulties because of prostate enlargement) are senior men.

Prostate hits its growth peak when men turn seniors

In other words, the older you are the bigger the chances to have problems because of the size of your prostate. Some data shows that around 90 % of men that have 80 years or more are affected with this problem.

That means that age is almost certainly one of the main causes for having an enlarged prostate. This can be explained with the way prostate evolves as the years go by (meaning as your grow older):

Scientists and doctors have figured out that prostate grows throughout our whole life. If you would compare your current prostate size with the prostate size at the time you were born, you would find out how much it has grown already.

According to some estimates, prostate enlarges itself for about 20 times the birth size. By the time we turn 50 years old, it becomes big enough to start pressing on the urethra and making urination difficult.

Senior men experience testosterone hormone changes

Another factor that is believed to influence the prostate enlargement men are hormone changes that men experience in their body by the time they become seniors.

Basically what happens is that as we grow older and become seniors, the Testosterone level in our male body gets lower. At the same time, it also changes itself in a different form known as »dihidrotestosterone« or DHT.

What DHT does is it makes cells in the prostate to multiply itself numerous times, which causes your prostate to enlarge itself as well.

But Testosterone level is not the only hormone change that happens in the senior male body. While Testosterone lower itself, other (more feminine) hormones like Prolactin, Estrogen, Luteinizing hormone and FHS hormone actually gets increased.

This is also the reason why senior men are also more likely to experience other body changes like gained weight and the decrease in the strength of the muscles.

To sum it up, there are many causes of enlarged prostate. While doctors and scientists believe the main two causes for prostate enlargement are age and hormone changes in senior males, there are also other causes for this condition and many of them are still unknown.

What you will discover in the article below are some of the common (or frequent) problems related to human male organ called Prostate.

To begin with some general information about this male organ, a prostate is part of man’s reproduction system (or sexual organ). It is responsible for the production of the fluid that transports the male sperm through uretha during ejaculation.

As with all human body organs, male prostate can become unhealthy too. If you are a man, then it is a good idea to know something about prostate problems, how to solve them and how to keep your prostate healthy.

Basically, there are many different prostate problems that we as men can suffer from. At this point, I want to expose three of them:

• Prostatitis,
• Prostate enlargement,
• and Prostate Cancer.

Prostatitis is common male prostate problem

Prostatitis is a very common male health condition that is most common in young and middle aged men. This usually happens because the tissue in the prostate gets irritated or inflammed in a certain way.

One possible end result of having prostatitis is a burning feeling that men feel while urinating. But besides painful urination, this disease also causes other difficulties, which makes it very hard to diagnose.

Things like fever and tiredness could also have something to do with prostatitis.

Prostate enlargement is another male prostate problem

Prostate enlargement (also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia) is another common prostate problem that men suffer from.

While Prostatitis usually affects younger and middle aged men, prostate enlargement develops mostly in senior aged men. This is because prostate does not stop growing with time and by the time you become senior, this organ is pretty big.

The big or enlarged prostate is problematic because it squeezes the uretha. Since uretha is transfering your urine out of the body, this causes difficulties with urine transfer. As a result, men with enlarged prostate lose control over urination or have a very hard time doing it.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer or cancer of prostate represents a treat for all men. What happens in such situations is that prostate starts producing cancerous cells, which (if not prevented) spread into the other body organs too.

Having a prostate cancer means problems like urination difficulties, feelings of pain, difficult sexual intercourse and even penis erection impotence problems.

As obvious from the male prostate problems described above, keeping prostate healthy as much as possible is a must for every man!

There are many ways to protect your prostate from becoming sick. I will share some of the methods with you in my next blog posts.
