Prostate Enlargement

Prostate enlargement, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition in aging men where the prostate gland grows in size, potentially causing urinary symptoms such as frequent urination and weak urine flow.

Natural medicine approaches like adopting a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and using certain supplements like saw palmetto or beta-sitosterol might provide some relief from mild BPH symptoms by potentially reducing inflammation and supporting prostate health, but individuals with significant symptoms should seek medical evaluation and collaborate with healthcare professionals to determine the most appropriate treatment plan, which may include prescription medications or medical procedures.
