More about Prostate Tonic

According to www.cancer.org, 1 in 6 males will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and the number of men diagnosed each year keeps rising. Unfortunately, this is just one of the many problems that the prostate can cause. Outside of cancer, the most common problem men face with their prostate is enlargement that in large part is caused simply by aging.

The prostate is a small, walnut shaped organ that is wrapped around your urethra just below the bladder, and the trouble with it is it's always growing. For some men this growth never turns into a problem, and they get the pleasure of enjoying a healthy prostate and healthy living. However, for many this growth quickly becomes problematic. This is because as the prostate grows, it puts pressure on the urethra (the passage for your urine and semen), and this causes the bladder to work harder to push urine through. This can eventually cause the bladder to become confused and fail to empty itself entirely each time you urinate. It's a problem that has several names -- enlarged prostate, benign prostate hyperplasia, or simply BPH, and if you have any of the following you symptoms, you might be at risk:

• A weak or slow urinary stream
• A feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
• Difficulty starting urination
• Frequent urination
• Urgency to urinate
• Getting up frequently at night to urinate
• A urinary stream that starts and stops
• Straining to urinate
• Continued dribbling of urine
• Returning to urinate again minutes after finishing

When the bladder does not empty completely, you become at risk for developing urinary tract infections, or other serious problems can also develop over time, including bladder stones, blood in the urine, incontinence, and acute urinary retention (an inability to urinate). Therefore, it's absolutely imperative to take care of your prostate and any problems that arise as soon as you possibly can.

So what can you do?

If you are experiencing symptoms indicative that you may have a prostate enlargement problem, you can treat it in a number of ways. Of course, there is the option of going to see one's doctor where they will determine your level of enlargement as best they can, and treat you using either medication or surgery. While this has been a successful route taken by man, an alternative to the route would be addressing the problem naturally.

In many cases, the enlargement can be treated by inhibiting the ability of testosterone to break down and promote prostate growth. It just so happens that Saw Palmetto Berries has been shown in several clinical studies to accomplish just that. For many cases of mild to moderate enlargement it has been shown to be just as successful as Proscar, a commonly used medical drug for this condition.
