HOMEOPATHIC APPROACH TO PROSTATE ENLARGEMENT
Is your sleep perturbed due to frequent bathroom trips at night? Do you feel that your bladder does not
empty fully, or you have to exert while urinating due to a weak urine flow? These are the warning signs of
an ongoing Prostate enlargement. Prostate is a small gland in the male reproductive system, positioned
in front of the rectum and below the bladder. Typically, the Prostate two folds during the puberty phase of
a man, and goes through a second phase of growth during old age, but in some men Prostate may grow
all through their life. Men produce Testosterone, a male hormone and small amounts of Estrogen, a
female hormone. As age advances, the production of Testosterone reduces which leaves elevated levels
of Estrogen causing enlargement of the Prostate, also known as benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. An
enlarged Prostate compresses the Urethra, irritates the bladder, and stimulates frequent urination. These
repeated contractions exhaust the bladder, thereby, extinguishing its capability to empty itself. Although
symptoms of Prostate Enlargement are the same as Prostate Cancer, having a Prostate Enlargement
does not increase the chances of getting Prostate Cancer.
