Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a noncancerous growth of the prostate gland. This small, chestnut-shaped gland surrounds the urethra (the tube from the bladder to the opening in the penis) where it emerges from the bladder. The prostate produces a fluid that nourishes sperm and is ejaculated during orgasm. BPH does not increase a man’s risk of developing prostate cancer.
BPH is a common health problem in men over the age of 60. The exact cause of BPH is not known, but it may be related to changes in hormone levels that naturally occur as a man ages.
Initial symptoms of BPH includes difficulty in starting urine and a feeling of incomplete urination. As the prostate gland grows larger, it presses upon the urethra and narrows it. This blocks the flow of urine. The bladder begins pushing harder to get the urine through, which causes the bladder muscles to become larger and more sensitive. This, as well as the fact that the bladder can never be fully empty, causes a feeling of needing to urinate frequently. Other symptoms include a weak stream of urine, dribbling of urine right after urinating, the need to urinate at night more frequently. If the bladder ends up overfilled, you may experience leaking of urine, or incontinence. Some men will have repeated urinary tract infections and kidney stones.
Prostasafe
Prostasafe capsule inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestoterone and restricts hyperplasia (an overgrowth of normal cells within an organ or tissue). Prostasafe improves the urinary flow rate and reduces the symptoms of BPH like difficulty in starting urine and a feeling of incomplete urination.
