How to Treat An Enlarged Prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia): 12 Natural Treatments

12 Natural Ways to Prevent & Treat an Enlarged Prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)
An enlarged prostate (also known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, BPH) is a very common issue that affects large proportions of the aging male population. The causes of BPH are not entirely clear; however, it's believed to be due to issues with hormonal balance, including issues with testosterone, dihydrotestosterone and estrogen levels. There has been much research on herbal and natural remedies to help prevent and treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate. In this lesson, we discuss 12 of these natural remedies and supplements, including the research evidence behind them.

Thank you for the information. I do, however, need more information on which of these supplements can work together creating a synergistic, more powerful effect. Also information on recommended dosages would be great. Please advise.

[@whyldthing86]

The fact that these are mostly natural food supplements (like an herbal remedy) it would be very difficult to pin-point a specific regimen to follow. Plus couple it to individual lifestyles and stress exposure…it would best to try which ones are available to you then continue monitoring your symptoms if they’d be gone. I have very good response (most symptoms are near back to normal or rather almost non-existent) with pumpkin seeds (as snacks) and a daily dose of saw palmetto capsules (2x in a day), daily green tea and for the lycopene I used an alternative (powdered spinach that I make into a cold drink). BUT it took nearly 3months or more to notice the improvements. I have yet to have a prostrate size check (hopefully this month) to quantify if there are really improvements in my prostrate size.

Saw Palmetto and Pumpkin Seed Oil are both high in b-Sitosterol. Saw Palmetto more than pumpkin seed oil. Some studies I came across stated that as much as 5000mg (5 grams) of saw palmetto per day for three months showed no side effects in men, but dramatically reduced prostate weight/volume. Rye pollen extract is also great, but extremely expensive

How do we consume the pumpkin seed oil? Drink 1 tablespoon everyday? Or stir fry vegetables with pumpkin seed oil? It is a very expensive oil to use for cooking... 🤔

[@macknumber9]

I don't think DHT alone is the cause...otherwise the problem would happen more so in younger population than older. When you are older your androgens fall and your estrogen rises. I think it is a high estrogen problem....hence why some people have good results with simply brocolli which of course is a food that has anti estrogenic compounds

[@ArdaHDR]

Maybe

[@lunes-1]

👍

[@davidschreiner6667]

You want to know why older men get enlarged prostates. Consider what the function of the prostate gland actually is, it provides the extra fluid needed for ejaculation. Then consider what happens to any organ that is not being used. Older men tend to no longer engage in sex and that causes the prostate to weaken and become conjested. Prostate enlargement seems to be a function of having no sex life and if you questioned older men about their frequency of orgasms I think you might find a strong correlation as the number decreases the enlargement increases.

[@FatNebraskaMom]

No one mentioned small flowered willow herb?

[@AWolfCalledFred]

You did!

[@siiwok]

yea but what are side effects of saw palmetto??

[@alan30189]

He mentions TURP, but no other methods of surgery. There are others that are much better, IMO. Do some research before getting talked into TURP. TURP has all kinds of side effects, including retrograde ejaculation, incontinence, and from what he said here, prostatitis. Who the hell wants that? Another alternative Is “Rezum” steam therapy, and the one I’m leaning towards is PAE: “Prostate arterial embolization.” THE urologist I saw on Rezum, said it improves symptoms 30%, which didn’t sound very good to me. TURP improves them much better, and so does PAE. I’m still researching PAE. Another procedure I just discovered, is “plasma therapy,” which I guess is different than TURP, but it also has a possible side effect of retrograde ejaculation. The supplements I’ve tried so far, Saw Palmetto, stinging nettle, pumpkin seed oil, and Pygeum, I took all at the same time and they didn’t seem to make much of an improvement.

[@sashaafify1959]

Hi Alan, my Dad has had an enlarged prostate and been on tamsulosin for about 10 years now. The symptoms are getting worse with urgency and very frequent trips to the urinal even at night. He’s a very young 81 yr old widower. What treatment did you wind up going with? Do you have treatment ideas for him? I have no clue what to do and there’s so much info out there. I’m currently looking for a urologist and maybe functional medicineDr. Please help me and thank you

[@nabuk3]

Caution: PAE is new and involves massive amounts of radiation during the procedure, which can foster future cancers. Rezum is very painful and has mixed reviews by men who have had it done, despite the hype by those who developed it. Look into HoLEP, an untrasound ablation treatment.
