Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous swelling of the prostate gland that affects nearly all men to some degree in different ways, usually beginning in late middle age.
Some of men can manage mild symptoms and don’t need treatment. Others find that most of the time they need to stay near a toilet. This can make it difficult to work, drive, be outdoors and attend social events.
Many need to do to the toilet a lot during the night. Wake up with an urgent need to pee. Then, before they can fall back asleep, they have to go again. This affects your sleep and makes you feel more tired during the day.
In fact, waking up to go to the bathroom several times each night and/or having urination difficult or uncomfortable is one of the most annoying health issues.
Unfortunately, the health of the prostate gland is something most men never think about – until they are forced to. There are so many men who are willing to take drugs with known, serious side effects, or to even undergo major surgery – such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or even prostatectomy (prostate removal). These facts attest to how common, how unpleasant, and how personal prostate health concerns can be.
On the other hand, for many men, unsuccessfully treated prostate conditions often mean resorting to wearing diapers (due to urinary incontinence) and/or never having sex again (due to impotence), or being sterile…
An even graver prostate health concern is prostate cancer affecting more than 2.5 million American men. It’s the most common cancer in men after skin cancer.
While it can have serious complications, by doctors it is considered a normal part of men’s aging process due to the changes in hormone balance and in cell growth.
But if left untreated, BPH can lead to bladder, urinary tract or kidney problems. It may cause the buildup of urine in the bladder, which increases the likelihood that pathogenic bacteria will grow and trigger an infection.
Prostate issues can also cause sexual problems. The extent of any sexual problem varies according to the condition of the prostate. Some common sexual side effects include:
No one knows exactly why the prostate enlarges, but it typically happens after about age 50 or over the age of 50. Nearly 60 percent of men aged over 60 suffer from this condition. Up to 90 percent of men older than 80 have it.
The prostate goes through two main periods of growth. Early in puberty, it actually doubles in size. Later in life, around age 25, it starts to grow again. For most men, this growth happens for the rest of their lives. For some, an overgrowth of cells (called hyperplasia) in the transition zone of the prostate (the area around the urethra) causes an enlargement of the prostate called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Men with a father or brother who has been affected by BPH are more likely to develop the condition than men who do not have a first-degree relative who has been affected.
This increase in DHT production rate is thought to trigger the proliferation of prostate cells (hyperplasia). That’s why men who have had their testicles removed at a young age (for example, as a result of testicular cancer) do not develop BPH. Also, if the testicles are removed after a man develops BPH, the prostate begins to shrink in size.
Many men, however, are more susceptible to prostate enlargement due to an unhealthy lifestyle. The common unhealthy choices include:
Because researchers are not positive about the cause of prostate enlargement, standard medicine is unable to eradicate or prevent BPH completely once it becomes a nuisance.
The BPH symptoms occur because the tube that drains urine from your bladder, called the urethra, passes through the prostate gland to your penis. When the prostate enlarges, it compresses the urethra and affects urination.
Lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia may include:
Once BPH becomes a nuisance, standard medicine is unable to eradicate or prevent it completely. Why? Because researchers STILL are not positive about the cause of prostate enlargement.
Typically, you do not need medicine for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) unless:
About 4 out of 10 men find that their symptoms improve without treatment. That means that 6 out of 10 men need medicine or surgery to help their symptoms.
In real medical world, when it is determined (diagnosed) that the problem is an enlarged (swollen) prostate, there are a few standard ways to treat it, such as:
One of the first and most common avenues is not to treat it at all. Symptoms vary widely from one patient to the next. If a man has only mild symptoms, perhaps getting up once a night to urinate, a conservative approach might be best.
This approach may be also advised, if the symptoms are mild and not adversely affecting quality of life. The condition is regularly monitored and treatment will be advised if symptoms worsen.
Typically, some vague dietary modifications are suggested. They include avoiding bladder irritants, such as coffee, tea and alcohol, as well as stopping or reducing smoking. Also, restricting fluid intake in the late afternoon and evening are recommended, as they can prevent the need for waking up to urinate.
Only 10 percent men with enlarged prostate need medical intervention. If and when an quick intervention is needed to bring relief, the first step is usually alpha blockers, such as Tamsulosin HCL (Flomax) – oral medications that relax the muscles around the prostate and bladder neck, allowing freer urine flow. The relief is generally felt within a couple of days. But this approach is not free from side effects. Alpha blockers can lead to difficulty ejaculating and cause a retrograde ejaculation (going into the bladder rather than exiting the penis). And they do not shrink the prostate.
Another commonly prescribed drug, 5-alpha reductase inhibitor (such as finasteride or dutasteride), actually helps to shrinks the prostate – but requires a longer time to take effect and has potentially problematic sexual side effects. Finasteride (Proscar) may lower the sex drive or interfere with erections, and can decrease the amount of semen/sperm released during sex. Dutasteride (Avodart) may also cause testicle pain/swelling, increased breast size, or breast tenderness.
The side effects of these drugs may be more bothersome than the symptoms of BPH.
These approaches, such as stents, heat treatments, or laser treatments can sometimes lead to erectile dysfunction (ED). The prostatic lift is a procedure, in which prostate tissue is moved away from the urethra, with a few sutures to hold it in place. As a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure, it can be done with local anesthesia. It also preserves sexual function.
When medications are not the answer, doctors recommend the following surgical (invasive) solutions:
Only 10 percent men with enlarged prostate (BPH) need surgical intervention.
Complications of an enlarged prostate may include:
Transformation is usually stressful, even for a healthy person. Stressed-out and probably confused, you cannot be expected to comply instantly with all the necessary dietary changes.
You may, however, begin with a more liberal plan doing a little at a time; then moving on to a more stringent program. The end result may take longer to achieve, but you will most likely stay on your plan long enough to attain your desired goals.
You can also start with a more limiting program and then gradually ease into a more lenient one, as tolerated. In both cases, you will be in control of those changes saving yourself much frustration and – time.
Although the dietary restrictions advised may seem hard, it is heartening to realize you can achieve significant improvement of your condition – if you put your mind to it.
One Day at a Time
By deciding to change your food choices, you will take the first significant step towards better prostate health. Knowing the right foods to eat can make an amazing difference in your lifestyle
Taking it one day at a time will make the elimination of wrong foods much easier.
It has been suggested that old men with BPH and lower urinary tract symptoms have a considerably higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease. Researchers speculate an enlarged prostate can be a risk factor due to:

According to standard medicine, there is no evidence that the standard prostate botanicals reduce the size (volume) of the enlarged prostate. In other words, most orthodox doctors keep warning their patients that common botanicals fail to address the prostate problems
There is no wonder then that the Food and Drug Administration has not approved (yet) any herbal medications for treatment of an enlarged prostate.
Despite the standard medicine’s “warnings,” the good news keeps on coming for the large population of prostate sufferers. One on them is European DP Extract.
It is a clinically proven proprietary blend – obviously still little known to the American public and most doctors – which has been used with success by men for generations in Europe.
The power of this unique Swedish extract is backed by numerous controlled studies, both clinical and experimental. Several open trials have found it to be helpful for chronic prostatitis and prostatodynia (Br J Urol. 1993 Apr; 71(4): 433-8]).
European DP Extract delivers support in a way that is fundamentally different from common prostate herbs. The list of its beneficial properties includes:
Mr. Andrew Mierzejewski:
I got a severe bladder infection, so I went to a doctor. They did their look in my bladder and also discovered I had an enlarged prostate.
I was in bad pain when I often had to go to restroom. One night I was going every 30 minutes.
They put me on sulfa antibiotics and also wanted me to take Flowmax, which I told them I would not take. I don’t like taking antibiotics if I can help it.
They also did a CAT scan. I took the antibiotics for a few days but they did not help that much.
So, they wanted to do surgery to open it up.
Since taking European DP Extract and your Uribiotic Formula for bladder/prostate infection, I am about 95% better. I wake up only about once around 3 to 4 am. My output at that time is from 12 to 14 oz.
I know it is going to take some time for the swelling of the prostate to go down. But European DP Extract has helped me tremendously over the past few weeks since I first talked to you and ordered it.
I am not considering any type of surgery at all.
I cannot express enough the thanks for your time and talking to me and for your products.
Thanks again,

Thanks, again, Andrew!
As soon as I got my order of Uribiotic in, I started taking it. After a few days I noticed feeling a little better each day.
I started going to the bathroom only about twice a night. Then just once a night. And now I never wake to go to the bathroom. My measured outflow in the morning became normal and with no pain.
I was also taking European DP Extract for my enlarged prostrate for about six weeks. I went to a specialist and he checked me and said that my prostate was normal.
He said I don’t need to come back.
Now everything is back to normal. I still take both Uribiotic and European DP Extract.
I am very thankful for your help and advice, Andrew.

I have been suffering from chronic prostatitis since I was 40 years old (I’m 54 now). I had tried many Doctor-prescribed treatments, but the symptoms continued to reoccur.
I then heard about Saw Palmetto and started taking it four years ago, which helped greatly for the first three years. Then I noticed it was not helping as much and searched for help.
I have been taking European DP Extract for a year and it has been a very successful treatment for my prostate.
I still continue to take a men’s health vitamin with 160 mg of Saw Palmetto and other vitamins and minerals. With continued treatment I have become a new man.

I started taking European DP Extract, because I was beginning to have problems related to my prostate (58-year-old male). If I remember correctly, I started to notice a difference within 2 weeks.
My PSA test a few months ago was 1.5 and my previously slightly enlarged prostate had reduced in size.
I’m very glad that I took the European DP Extract because the products I had been taking for the prostate had limited or no noticeable effects.

I did try the Uribiotic for myself a few years ago and found it very effective.
The results were so amazing that later I decided to order it for my father of 90 years, suffering from an enlarged prostate. There were times he couldn’t pee!
And Uribiotic helped him a lot, too.
I appreciate your untiring service to all in need and your amazing herbal product that truly works.
Thanks!
