Urination
Difficulty due to Prostate Enlargement
by: Joe Hing Kwok Chu
As men grow older
about 50% of 55 years old suffer from
prostate
enlargement and by the time men reach 80 years
old, more than 75%
of them suffer from prostate enlargement.
Traditionally,
surgery is the main solution but more and more
patients are
selecting non surgery treatments.
One of the main
causes is that testosterone turns into excess
dihydrotestosterone which stimulate the cells of the prostate
glands and causes
the cells to multiply which causes the
enlargement of the
prostate glands. Urinary tract infection
or
prostate inflammation, or blood circulation stasis in the
pelvic area also
can make the symptoms worse.
The medication
available for prostate enlargement mainly
falls under the
following categories:
1. adrenergic
blocker
2. reductase
inhibitors
3. leuteinization
stimulating hormone
4. anti cholestrol
drugs
5. anti
testosterone drugs
6. herbal remedies
The herbal
remedies can possess the functions of the above
medications.
