How can an enlarged prostate be treated?
Consult your doctor. He’d give you the best options. Ask him whether you should take prostate health vitamins that may help to promote prostate health. I’ve heard beta sitosterol is good.
Enlarged prostates can be treated in a variety of ways from at-home care to surgery. Treatment depends on your current situation and what your doctor feels may be best. To keep an enlarged prostate from getting any worse, urinate when you feel the urge to and try to empty the bladder completely. Also, your doctor may prescribe some medications such as Hytrin or Cadura, which act as muscle relaxants on the prostate increasing your ability to urinate, or Avodart, which can shrink the prostate. Surgery is of course another option w. A procedure called a transurethral resection is performed by inserting a small telescope through the urethra which then removes prostatic tissue.
