Six Prostate Secrets Nobody Ever Talks About

By: Robert William Locke

Keeping the prostate gland healthy will be a must for men over 50. Besides medication and massage, I want to tell you six secrets about the prostate which are rarely talked about but will go a long way to relieving discomfort.

A study has been carried out by The Cancer Council Victoria in Australia about whether the frequency of ejaculation in men has any bearing on the incidence of prostate cancer in men.This study has been published in the British Journal of Urology International and shows that frequent ejaculation by masturbation or other means will help to keep the gland healthy by clearing out toxins, debris and even carcinogens which might build up in the prostate gland tissues.

If you are into homeopathy, there are many options available and sometimes give excellent results and also relieve discomfort and pain from an overactive bladder. Relief from painful orgasm, which is sometimes the result of chronic prostatitis, can also be gained from this type of treatment. Your homeopathic pharmacy will recommend Thuja Occidentalis ( Arbor Vitae), Cantharis (Spanish Fly), Hydrangea ( Seven Barks), and Solidago Virga (Golden Rod) as possible cures. These are also recommended for the health of the bladder.

Sitz comes from the German word which means sitting and that is just what you do for thirty minutes when you take a sitz bath. The pelvic area is immersed in very hot water - keep the rest of your body outside. You want the hot water to penetrate the fatty layers and muscle and stimulate the blood circulation in the pelvis. Keep adding hot water so that the water does not become too cool and add in your favourite scent. At the end, stand up very slowly and spray the area with cold water. In this way, the blood vessls constrict and the toxins are got rid of, rather like squeezing a sponge.

Green tea has had a lot of hype and publicity. In the case of treatment of the prostate, there is good reason as it has this marvellous ability to actually kill off cancer cells while leaving the healthy ones in place. This process is called apoptosis. This normally occurs in the body all the time but green tea is one of the few substances which does this essential task and which you can drink ! Green tea should not be consumed in great quantities as it contains caffeine.

Attention to diet can also have a beneficial effect on the prostate. Large consumption of alcohol, spicy foods and red meat should be avoided. Green leafy vegetables, soya, nuts and fruit can be safely consumed. Tomatoes, as they contain lycopene, also help in reducing the size of the prostate. Foods which contain Vitamin E, folic acid and selenium are also in the top ten.

Urinating when standing is not as effective as when you are sitting down, so the latter position is recommended. Why ? It is because the sitting position helps you to empty the bladder more efficiently thus getting rid of the toxins. One exercise to tone the muscles in the pelvic area can be done by squeezing the buttocks. This can be done as often as you like, but the number should be increased gradually.

This article has revealed six secrets about looking after your prostate and keeping it healthy. These are possible alternatives to medication but some of them can also be used to complement other treatments. You should consider these and try them before deciding on massage and/or surgery.
