benign prostrate hypertrophy
The Prostate Gland surrounds the Urethra and is located below the Bladder. This gland produces Semen, which works to keep sperm lubricated and mobile, and aids the bladder in the flow of urine. After a man hits Puberty, Prostate gradually grows from roughly the size of a small marble to about the size of Golf ball. Around age 50 and due to a variety of factors, Prostate begins to grow again. This increased growth can cause a variety of problems, most commonly Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) or an Enlarged Prostate, Prostatitis, and even Prostate Cancer.
BPH will affect an astonishing 50% of men during their lifetimes. One out of every two men will develop prostrate enlargement in their 60’s- and by age 70, that ratio becomes Nine out of Ten. Although prostrate enlargement is not Life Threatening; Prostrate Cancer is the second-most deadly form of cancer for men.
Symptoms of an Enlarged Prostateinclude the following:
- A need to pass urine frequently
- Pain, burning, difficulty in stopping and starting urination
- Blood in the urine
- A weak urine flow
- Night time wakening to empty the bladder
- A constant feeling that the bladder isn't completely empty.
The specific cause of most of these problems is unknown, but they may be related to hormonal changes brought on by aging. From the Ayurveda perspective, a Sedentary Lifestyle, Lack of Proper Nutrients and Retention of Urine can impact Prostate Health.
Modern medicine takes course to Surgery to emolliate the condition. In most cases, the gland is removed since it is one of the common sites of cancer. Obstruction of urine caused in this condition may be of many types depending upon the dosha, which has been vitiated.
In Ayurveda, BPH is compared with ASTREELA/ MUTRAGHATA. The good news is that with an Ayurvedic Diet, Daily Routine and Herbal Medicines, you can maintain Prostate Health throughout Life.
