Urination Difficulty due to Prostate Enlargement    

by: Joe Hing Kwok Chu     

As men grow older about 50% of 55 years old suffer from

prostate enlargement and by the time men reach 80 years

old, more than 75% of them suffer from prostate enlargement.

Traditionally, surgery is the main solution but more and more

patients are selecting non surgery treatments. 

One of the main causes is that testosterone turns into excess

dihydrotestosterone which stimulate the cells of the prostate

glands and causes the cells to multiply which causes the

enlargement of the prostate glands. Urinary tract infection

or prostate inflammation,  or blood circulation stasis in the

pelvic area also can make the symptoms worse.

The medication available for prostate enlargement mainly

falls under the following categories:

1. adrenergic blocker

2. reductase inhibitors

3. leuteinization stimulating hormone

4. anti cholestrol drugs

5. anti testosterone drugs

6. herbal remedies

The herbal remedies can possess the functions of the above

medications.
