Prostara: Your Aid Against BPH

People say life begins at 40, as this is an age where most people are at the peak of their life - when they have reached their goals and are just coasting along comfortably, when they are neither too young and too immature nor too old and too wise to enjoy life. The fourth decade of life is a milestone that should be celebrated and enjoyed, but it should also be approached with caution - by me at least, especially by those who have family histories of prostate problems. This is one of the thrust of prostate awareness programs initiated by prostate health experts and advocates, one of which is Himex Biotech, maker of Prostara.

What is prostate? Do I have one?

Unless you belong to the female species, the answer is yes. The prostate is a walnut-sized gland necessary for the proper sexual functioning of males. The prostate secretes part of the seminal fluid that carries sperm from the testes to the penis. It lies just below the bladder and in front of the rectum, and surrounds the urethral tube, which allows for the passing of urine from the bladder to the penis during urination. Important as it is, most men are not aware that they have this gland, until they begin to experience problems with it.

Prostate Issues

The prostate grows as men age. This growth peaks between the age of 40-50, and can grow as big as a plum. This growth may or may not be malignant, so it is best to get regular medical check-ups especially when you reach 40. Growth of cancerous cells in the prostate leads to prostate cancer, which is considered the second most common form of cancer in American men. But the prostate can grow too, even without cancer calls. This condition is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia. What causes enlarged prostate is yet to be discovered, but it is largely believed to be caused by hormonal imbalance brought about by age. As men advance in age, their estrogen levels rise, overpowering level of testosterone, the hormone responsible for male attributes like aggression and sex drive. This is compounded by the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Males diagnosed with BPH are found to have an abnormal amount of DHT, which is suspected to influence the growth of prostate cells.

Dealing with an Enlarged Prostate

In general, BPH is a harmless condition, especially for males who do not have symptoms. However, the same could not be said for those with severe symptoms which can negatively affect the quality of life. These symptoms include frequent urination (especially at night), painful voiding, urinary incontinence, pelvic pain and urinary urgency. Left unchecked, these symptoms could worsen and lead to complications like urinary tract infections, urine retention and bladder and kidney issues.

Because prescription drugs can cause side effects, they are not advisable for long term use. Surgery is another option, but the procedure is invasive and can lead to ejaculation woes and infertility concerns. It is for these reasons that men turn to prostate supplements like Prostara, a potent blend of all-natural ingredients that address the symptoms of BPH.

Fast-acting and safe for continued use, Prostara is the choice of many men in maintaining the health of their prostate despite their age and condition. Clinically formulated to regulate and maintain hormonal balance and maintain optimal prostate health, Prostara relieves the symptoms of an enlarged prostate and helps sufferers regain control of their urinary functions.
