Prostatic Hypertrophy, BenignPathological ConsiderationsA common entity which occurs in about four out of every five men in America over the age of 50 years. It is characterized by growth of multiple fibroadenomas modules enlarging the prostate gland and compromising the urethra causing variable degrees of bladder outlet obstruction. Physiological ConsiderationsProgressive urinary frequency and urgency with incomplete emptying and rapid refilling of the bladder, hesitancy and intermittency, and decreased size and force of the urinary stream are common diagnostic signs. Good nutrition over a lifetime appears to be the only safeguard against occurrence of this condition in older males. A lack of fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, wheat germ oil (because of natural hormones believed to occur in wheat germ oil), unsaturated fatty acids (vitamin F), and certain minerals, especially zinc - appear to be directly responsible for prostatic hypertrophy. Abstinence from alcohol and tobacco and use of hot sitz baths are required. TreatmentNecessary for Treatment: Other Helpful Products For the Prostate
