An enlarged prostate can vary in size, but typically it can grow to be about the size of a walnut or a small plum. The increase in size can lead to symptoms such as urinary issues, including frequent urination or difficulty urinating.

What is an enlarged prostate gland?

In some men, the Prostate Gland may become enlarged. The causes can be due to a cancer, or a benign condition. The benign condition is called Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, or BPH. In the case of cancer, there will be a whole range of treatments available. In the case of BPH, there may be no treatment offered if there are no symptoms present; there are also drugs available as well as other treatments that can be used if there are symptoms. As it is a physiological enlargement, lifestyle, diet changes and use of herbs are of benefits.

How long can a man survive with prostate cancer?

Well, my father is still alive. He has been fighting prostate cancer for 15+! years. Since about 2 years it has turned into advanced prostate cancer with multiple metastases. He is still fighting. Originally the doctors gave him 8 to 10 years after having removal of the cancerous prostate. I dont think anyone knows exactly. But his good spirits, positive attitude and not giving up enabled him to still live comfortable. He is not able to do some things, like long walks etc., but he is still alive and still fighting.


How long does beta sitosterol stay in the system?

When not absorbed by the system, beta sitosterol binds with cholesterol and keeps it from being absorbed by the body. If it is passed through the digestive system without being absorbed which could take 2 to 3 days. When absorbed beta sitosterol is useful for an aging prostate. It may block certain enzymes which cause the prostate to grow. Beta sitosterol is very popular for heart health and prostate health management.


Is serogen safe for older men?

Yes. Serogen is safe for men of all ages. In fact older men (males over 30) are most likely to see the most dramatic effects of using Serogen daily. Serogen's active ingredient is Cernate (a defined blend of Swedish pollen) that helps to strengthen the vas deferens muscle, ejaculatory ducts, and is beneficial to overall prostate function. A healthy, strong prostate and ejaculatory mechanism will improve the force and number of an older man's orgasmic contractions, just like when he was in his late teens and early twenties (peak age for a strong prostate).
