I’am happy to share my comment on this subject matter in memory it is reported that a small amount of prostate enlargement is present in many men over age 40 (60 percent of men) and more than 90% of men over age 80. Normally the prostate keeps on to develop during a man's lifetime, resulting in enlarged prostate typically only forming later in life. Thus, men in their older age are the most common to report enlarged prostate symptoms.
Still there is a lot to learn about the causes of swollen and enlarged prostate; however some factors are clear contributors. Hormonal imbalances and an unhealthy lifestyle are two of the most common factors to contribute to an enlarged prostate.

I manage my BHP by eating correctly for prostatic health. Not to say I don't sometimes eat wrong, I do. And when I do there is evidence of it by slower flow. Dark green leafy vegetables work the best for me. Nuts and fruits. Red meat inflames the prostate. And there is a study that show milk protein causes the mitochondria to go cancerous. So I limit these. Watermelon and cooked tomatoes great for prostate. Pink grapefruit is ok but regular grapefruit is very bad for the prostate. I load myself up with anti oxident foods and eat my greens, a big bowl full everyday. 12 cups, sounds like a lot but really it isn't, of green tea has been shown to reduce prostate cancer by up to 60%. I drink green tea and also Holy Basil aka Tulsi tea which has the most anti oxidents. Dr. Mercola's website has very good info on the prostate and other parts relating to food.

I went to a free Prostate information group meeting and personal check up. The doctor gave me some new information at the meeting but was saying one can take drugs without really saying the whole truth so I made him admit the drugs are chemical castration. (This doctor was also very much for circumcision based on the African studies which just came out.)
