Prostate
Synopsis of Prostate
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland in the male reproductive system, located just below the bladder and in front of the rectum. It surrounds the upper part of the urethra, the tube that carries urine and semen out of the body. The prostate’s main role is to produce seminal fluid, which nourishes and protects sperm during ejaculation.
Prostate fluid makes up a significant portion of semen and contains enzymes, proteins (including prostate-specific antigen or PSA), and minerals like zinc that support sperm motility and longevity. The prostate also plays a role in urinary control through its muscular fibers that help regulate urine flow.
As men age, the prostate often undergoes changes, including enlargement, which can lead to urinary symptoms. Maintaining prostate health is vital for urinary function, sexual health, and overall quality of life.
Several common conditions are associated with the prostate:
-
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Noncancerous enlargement of the prostate, common in men over 50. Symptoms include frequent urination, weak stream, nighttime urination (nocturia), and incomplete bladder emptying.
-
Prostatitis: Inflammation of the prostate, often due to bacterial infection. Can be acute or chronic and may cause pelvic pain, painful urination, and flu-like symptoms.
-
Prostate cancer: One of the most common cancers in men, especially over age 60. Often slow-growing and asymptomatic in early stages, it is typically screened using PSA levels and digital rectal exams (DRE).
Risk factors for prostate issues include age, family history, hormonal imbalance, diet (especially high in animal fats), and sedentary lifestyle. Regular screening and early detection are critical for managing prostate-related diseases.
Natural remedies to support Prostate
Saw palmetto: Traditionally used to relieve symptoms of BPH by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to DHT (dihydrotestosterone).
Zinc: Concentrated in the prostate; deficiency is linked with poor prostate function.
Pumpkin seed: Contains zinc and phytosterols that may support urinary function and reduce inflammation.
Nettle root: May help manage BPH symptoms and inhibit inflammatory pathways.
Lycopene: A powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes; associated with reduced prostate cancer risk.
Green tea extract: Contains catechins that have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
Regular exercise and a plant-rich diet: Support hormonal balance and reduce oxidative stress.
