Q. What can help with some of the effects of prostraitis? – Vicky

Posted in Ask The Experts, Men's Health on November 30, 2011 by sundaymuniz

OUR RESPONSE: Prostatitis is an inflammation in the prostate for men.  This inflammation can lead to an increase in infection, since the prostate helps prevent infection in men when this is an issue infection is possible. As for other issues the inflammation can cause urination issues, frequent urination, up 2-4 times at night, or just extremely frequent during the day.  The other very common issue is that it takes a lot longer than normal time to get urine to flow.  So he may stand there and it will take way too long to start. This can be helped by a number of things, such as pumpkin seed oil and saw palmetto just to name a few. I would recommend that you have a Dr. address this to check his PSA to make sure that there is not a bigger issue.

Thanks for the great question.

Q. What supplements are best for men’s prostate health? – Ward

Posted in Ask The Experts, Men's Health on April 6, 2011 by sundaymuniz

OUR RESPONSE: Prostate health in men is not a matter of if an issue happens, but when.  More and more men are presenting with prostate issues that can range from frequent urination (especially in the middle of the night) to slow stream to frequent bladder infections.  A few essential diet additions and supplements can help with a few mild prostate complaints.  Saw Palmetto and Nettles have been researched for years with great success to help shrink an enlarging prostate.  Food choices like Pumpkin seeds, Omega 3’s, and occasional soy foods like tofu or tempeh have been shown to have strong protective hormonal and alkalizing effects that will preserve prostate health.  Even if you do not have any prostate complaints it is always important to adapt a few healthy choices to stay strong and active.
