As we reach our 50's & 60's, many men develop symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland. Here are some thoughts about prostate treatments-- prescription drugs, natural substances and surgery.

1. Prostate Treatments for an Enlarged Prostate
(Prescription, Non-Prescription & Surgical)
Prescription?
Or
Natural?
As we reach the age of fifty or so, or sometimes even by age 40 or so, many men develop an
enlarged prostate gland. Some fortunate men don’t experience any symptoms, but many of us
suffer significant and life-changing symptoms. Fortunately, there are prostate treatments that
can eliminate, or at least reduce the severity of these symptoms in most cases.
Sometimes we can’t get a good night’s sleep because we’re up every few hours to go to the
bathroom. Or even during the day, we experience a sudden and urgent need to urinate, so we
need to structure our days so we’re never far from a bathroom. Sometimes we dribble, or
actually find ourselves unable to hold it. We may experience discomfort, even pain.
Prostate treatments range from over-the-counter formulations, to prescription drugs that work
in a couple of different ways, to surgery.
The causes of an enlarged prostate aren’t completely understood, but it’s clear that there’s a
connection to increased levels of DHT, or dihydrotestosterone, which is formed by the action of
an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase on testosterone itself. DHT accumulates in prostate tissue,
causing the growth of more prostate tissue, which can exert pressure on the urethra.
Over the counter prostate treatments focus on inhibiting the activity of the enzyme. The most
popular formulas use saw palmetto, pumpkin seed or Pygeum, or some combination of these.
Saw palmetto has been studied extensively, and is widely used in Europe. It is less-used in the
United States, where prescription drugs such as Proscar that do approximately the same thing
are more widely used, although they are much more expensive, have more side effects, and are
only very slightly more effective (if at all), according to most studies.
Prescription drug prostate treatments such as Flomax work by a different mechanism—they
relax muscle fibers in the prostate, around the urethra, and in the bladder neck. This can allow

2. for a freer urine stream and better emptying of the bladder, but again, they can cause significant
side effects.
For those men seeking non-prescription prostate treatments, there is a very interesting, safe,
and effective formulation called Ayurstate. It’s a blend of eight herbs which have been used in
India for thousands of years to treat prostate problems, as part of the Ayurvedic medical
tradition recently popularized in the West by Deepok Chopra.
The fifty or so phytochemicals in Ayurstate are said to have some 250 beneficial actions on the
body, including:
●Inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase activity, blocking the production of DHT
●Relaxation of smooth muscles in the bladder and prostate
●Reducing inflammation in the urethra, and elsewhere in the body
●Balancing testosterone-estrogen levels
●Reducing prostate size
●Promoting strong urine flow
●Reducing nighttime urination
●Relief from pain and discomfort caused by an enlarged prostate
●Improved ejaculation
●Inhibition of protein deposits in prostatic ducts
And many more
Ayurstate is so effective that it’s fully guaranteed. If a user isn’t 100% satisfied, he can get a
refund of 110% of his money back, no questions asked.
You can get much more information about it on the Ayurstate website which is like an
encyclopedia of the prostate and prostate treatments. Easy to read, and very informative. Well
worth a visit.
