It is sad but true that men in their 60s or even in their 50s develop some serious problems in their prostate gland. It is a very important gland in men’s reproductive system that performs a very important function, i.e. to secrete seminal fluid that nourishes and preserves sperm. There are different prostate problems men develop, and one of the problems is the enlarged prostate, which is known as BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia).
Enlarged prostate in men is so common that every other male has it; and if they take proper care, it usually does not create serious problems. However, it becomes problematic when it starts to press hard on urethra inside causing following difficulties in males:
- Frequent urination
- Experience difficulty while urinating
- Inability to empty the bladder
- Slow urine stream
- Dribbling after urination
- Painful ejaculation
- Some pain behind the scrotum
- Burning sensation while urinating
There can be a number of reasons behind the enlarged prostate in males and one should seek professional medical help if the problem seems to be big enough. If there is a mild discomfort, it can be treated pretty well with these following home remedies:
Pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds are loaded with unsaturated fatty acids that aid proper functioning of the prostate gland. Pumpkin seeds relieve not just enlarged prostate problem but other problems related to the prostate gland in men as well. Males must pumpkin seed powder every day, as it keeps the burning sensation at bay. You could mix pumpkin seed powder in wheat flour and have its chapattis, mix one spoon of it in milk and drink, or sprinkle the powder over salads and have.
Corn silk
Take fresh corn, cut its silk and boil it in some water. Let it cool down, strain, and drink a glass of it. Doing this three times a week, you would experience great relief in your enlarged prostate woes.
Water intake
Drink enough water in a day; it helps keep inflammation at bay. Restrict your intake of fatty acids and refrain from smoking.
Ignoring prostate problems is the biggest mistake one can make, as it aggravates its severity. One can mitigate its symptoms and prevent its development into a cancer by changing diet and lifestyle. Herbal and natural remedies do work but if your problem is severe, you had better take BPH drugs.
