Prostate get bigger (enlarges) with the ages, and this is a physiological enlargement. Some factor which influence the prostate enlargement include: age, males hormones, dietary and lifestyle factors.
Answer: There are two major growth spurts of the prostate gland. One is at puberty and the other at around the age of 30. The prostate gland keeps growing and by the age of 40, 50 or later on, it may grow so big that it begins to push against the urethra. This affects urinary flow and functions and can lead to other complications.
Why this happens is not fully understood but doctors say it is related to hormonal changes. Some men are more susceptible to an aging prostate than others. This group includes: those that are overweight, have a family history, are of African American descent, or those who have lived on a predominantly "western diet"- high in red meat intake and low in fruits, vegetables and fiber. Research shows that nutrition plays a role in maintaining prostate health.
Nutrients like beta sitosterol, derived from plants, specific minerals and Vitamin D can be found in prostate supplements and are known to promote prostate health, as well as healthy urinary flow and functions. Taking proactive healthcare measures are important for maintaining a healthy prostate.When you have BPH, surgery or herbal therapy like Diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill are commonly used.
