Enlarged prostate problems affect more than half of men between 40 and 59 according to statistics. And this figure continues to climb as men grow older. Beyond age 60, prostate problems affect up to 80% of men.

Dr. Brownstein, a noted holistic medical physician, tells us “Once a man hits 40 or so, his body starts to secrete an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. This enzyme starts turning normal manly testosterone into a rogue testosterone compound called DHT, which rises as regular testosterone levels go down.”

Once, when I was driving truck, my prostate swelled so that I couldn't pee. I stopped at a hospital along my route, and they catheterised me. I was okay then, temporarily.

    I'm glad you were able to get to the hospital. You must have had surgery eventually?

      CL1 #2.1...Yes, I had surgery twice. The first time, they didn't cut enough. So, I had to have it done over.

      Bouncing on a truck seat for a million miles, will do a number on your prostate.

      Isn't there some way of getting the Prostate to ease off? I sure would not look forward to any more surgery in my life and at my age, 87, with scars on top of scars now, you know that the old prostate is all swolled up.
