3 out of 5 Men Have Prostate Problems Starting At Age 50

Many men suffer from prostate problems. Statistically, 3 out of 5 men aged 50 and over are affected. Frequent urge to urinate, pain when urinating and a permanent feeling of residual urine affect the quality of their physical and emotional life. The result is often a stunted sex life, which adversely affects marriages and relationships.

The prostate in detail

The prostate is an internal sex gland that is situated between the bladder and the pelvis. As a rule, the prostate gland weighs no more than 25 grams and is the size of a chestnut..

The primary task of the prostate is secretion formation. She It is also involved in sperm formation, hormone metabolism and ejaculation. In the prostate, the sex hormone testosterone is converted to dihydrotestosterone.

The prostate can generally be divided into the following three zones:

• Periurethral zone (covers the urethra between the mound and the bladder neck)
• Inner zone (here is the spray channel)
• External zone (main part of the prostate mass)

When the prostate causes problems

Irritation and abnormal urination are the most common prostate problems. Symptoms of irritation often manifest through frequent urge to urinate, pain when urinating and a disturbing feeling of residual urine. It is not uncommon for those affected to have the feeling that they must go to the toilet up to 7 times during the night.

Weak urine flow and difficulty urinating are the most common symptoms. An enlarged prostate presses on the bladder and causes a strong urge to urinate. In most cases, the change is a benign prostate enlargement that is related to the change in hormonal balance. An annual cancer screening provides clarity and is usually painless. By scanning and determining the PSA value, doctors can usually diagnose the problem quickly.

Targeted prevention can help

Prostate problems usually get worse with age so early detection and action treatment should be the focus. With targeted exercises, men can effectively strengthen surrounding muscles and increase stamina.

Some experts believe that regular ejaculation also helps prevent prostate problems  by eliminating built-up fluids and cleansing the prostate.

Dietary supplement Prostaphytol

Exercise and a healthy diet can have a positive effect on the prostate. In addition, the powerful polyphenols contained in pomegranates can also aid in prostate health.  Many men with prostate problems have found relief by taking one capsule a day of Prostaphytol.

The pomegranate is a real all-round talent. Several clinical studies have shown that pomegranate polyphenols counteract stress, aid cardiovascular health and reduce erectile dysfunction as one gets older.

Prostaphytol has an anti-inflammatory effect that helps reduce irritation and swelling so the prostate begins to return to normal size.

Better quality of life with a healthy prostate

There are many advantages to a healthy prostate. Men with a constant urge to urinate suffer from a lack of confidence both at work and at home. The persistent need to urinate makes travel and leisure activities torture.  A satisfying sex life seems a thing of the past.

Erectile dysfunction can have disastrous effects on married life and relationships. The emotional toll is sometimes too much to take and partners begin to distance themselves from each other. Prostaphytol serves to promote a healthy prostate so that sexual drive and function return to normal.
