Prostate health - What men need to know

When we think about men's health, one of the first areas that comes to mind is prostate health. The reason? More than half of all men (nearly 60%, in fact) between the ages of 40 and 59 have an enlarged prostate gland.

This condition is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (or BPH). Symptoms of this condition include: progressive urinary urgency, frequency and awakening during the night to empty the bladder—sometimes as often as three or four times a night. Also observed is a reduced force of urinary flow, intermittence and hesitancy of flow. If left untreated, this condition can eventually obstruct the bladder outlet and result in retention of blood in the urine.

Saw palmetto extract can be effective in up to 90% of cases of BPH. Other supplements, including zinc and Vitamin E are also believed to be helpful for prostate health. (Goldenrod contains all of these ingredients and can help improve prostate health. Click here for more information.)

Other health conditions of interest to men and women, including heart disease, osteoarthritis and more are covered in separate sections of HealthWorks2000.com.
