Enlarged prostate is the most common prostate problem. It is so common that it has been said, “All men will have an enlarged prostate if they live long enough”. It is not life threatening nor is it cancer; however, if left untreated it can lead to more serious health problems such as urinary retention, bladder stones, urinary infections or kidney damage. An enlarged prostate is often called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or benign prostatic hypertrophy. Treatment for an enlarged prostate is determined by the severity of your symptoms. You will need a medical examination and a PSA test to establish if there are any cancerous cells around. Once cancer is ruled out, there are a variety of options.

Prostate Surgery

Prostate surgery can result in problems such as impotence and/or incontinence. The actual cause of prostate enlargement is unknown. After taking a complete medical history, your doctor will perform a digital rectal exam to feel the prostate gland. The urologist may recommend medication which lowers levels of hormones produced by the prostate, reduces the size of the prostate gland, increases urine flow rate, and decreases symptoms of BPH. The choice of a specific surgical procedure is usually based on the severity of your symptoms and the size and shape of your prostate gland.

Natural Remedies For Enlarged Prostate

You may, with your doctor’s advice consider herbal supplements. Many herbal prostate supplements with saw palmetto oil, one of the top 10 herbal remedies in the world used for prostate conditions, can significantly improve symptoms. In fact, herbal remedies for prostate enlargement frequently combine these herbs along with saw palmetto.. Enlarged prostate is known to improve with nutrients such as Beta Sitosterol, Lycopene, Campesterol, Selenium, zinc and Uva ursi. Cod liver oil and borage oil are also useful. A diet rich in fibre and a clean colon will contribute enormously to a healthy prostate.

Massage

Prostate massage, when performed on a regular basis, can be used to reduce an enlarged prostate and get rid of toxins and increase its suppleness. Prostate massage is also a form of sexual play.

Natural home remedies for hair loss treatment can avoid some of the complications of transplants and other processes. Hair loss is something that happens to most men and many women but the process can be prevented, slowed or even reversed in some cases.
 
While transplants are the quickest way to replace lost hair, they do have some disadvantages. One is that they do not stop further hair loss. So for example a man with a round balding patch at the crown who has transplants, will later probably develop a bald ring around the transplanted area as the hair loss spreads. The other main disadvantage is that unless you have a series of many hair loss treatment, people are likely to notice that you suddenly have more hair. They may think it is a hairpiece, toupee or wig.
 
Natural hair loss treatment come in various forms and the best results are likely to come from using more than one.
 
1. Scalp Massage
 
Massaging the scalp stimulates hair growth in milder cases of balding, where the hair loss is only temporary and not extensive. It can also help by preventing further loss of hair. For three minutes each day, gently massage the whole of your scalp. Take extra care not to scratch! Scratching your head with your nails can damage growing hair. The Chinese have their own version of the heair rejuvinating scalp massage. To stimulate the follicles they tap the scalp with the fingers of both hands. Beginning at the nape, tap twenty times moving upward and outward slowly. Repeat this but this time beginning a little higher up the base of the skull. Repeat until you have covered all of your scalp, progressively beginning higher until you end up at the forehead.

Using Jojoba oil to massage your scalp also helps by providing the hair follicles with Vitamins B and E and several other important minerals. Another benefit of Jojoba oil is their effectiveness against scalp problems like dandruff, oily hair, eczema, and psoriasis.

2. Nutrition and Vitamins

Full vitamins and minerals are a requirement for healthy hair growth. Our diets are usually not balanced enough to accomodate this. Start eating more fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables every day (at least 10 varied portions). This will help you keep supplied with all the vitamins and minerals you should be recieving.
 
Make sure that you are getting enough of these nutrients in particular:
Vitamin A, All B vitamins, especially B6 and B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc, Iron, Copper, Iodine, and Essential fatty acids. You can use free computer programs to track your nutrient intake.
 
If for some reason you can’t improve your diet that easily, the other option is to take supplements. Most nutrients can be absorbed from supplements available in drugstores with the possible exception of Vitamin A. Vitamin A should always be from your diet. It’s not that hard, the best sources of it are easy to come by in supermarkets like carrots, pumpkins, spinach, etc.

Zinc is an especially important nutrient for men, since it’s vital for the prostate, an organ involved in male pattern baldness. Having too much Zinc, however, can also cause problems, so it’s necessary to strike a balance.

3. Herbal Supplements

Saw Palmetto is recommended for men experiencing hair loss. It is believed to suppress some male hormones from the prostate, which as mentioned earlier, factors heavily on the onset of male pattern baldness. Taking too much of this supplement and reducing male hormones too much however can cause breast tissue to develop. So be careful to only take enough.

For women, saw palmetto can also help, but should never be taken with hormone therapy, oral contraceptives, or any other treatments or medications that involve hormones.

4. Relaxation Techniques

Another important factor that leads to hair loss is stress. Reducing the amount of stress in your life will help a lot in hair loss treatment. Learn how to meditate or other relaxation techniques every morning for ten minutes. Preferably after your daily exercise routine.

Daily exercise itself can reduce stress and give you a healthier skin, scalp, as well as a fitter body.

Try these simple solutions and it may help you keep a full head of hair. Be it male pattern baldness or female age-related hair loss. However, these are not cures or health treatments, so if you suspect that your hair loss may be due to a medical problem or an unknown cause, always see your doctor first before you try any hair loss treatment.
