When I started showing signs of an enlarged prostate, I checked with my doctor to ensure my condition was not serious. Going to the bathroom every five minutes did not appeal to me, and neither did the idea that I might have prostate cancer, so I went for my exam. Thankfully, the results showed that I was simply suffering from BPH.
BPH is the medical term for the condition of having an enlarged prostate. Its symptoms usually present as the regular need to pee and painful urination. Personally, I had suffered through the first sign but not the second. I was lucky, however. My doctor remarked that I could as well have suffered the other symptoms of BPH, which include a weak urine system, dribbling after you finish peeing and the urgent need to pee. However, there was still a need for me to deal with my BPH.
An Alternative to Medication
By then, I had not learnt about taking vitamin supplements to treat the condition. I was just happy to alleviate the symptoms I had been suffering at the time. With the guidance of my doctor, I got and started following a regime of taking BPH medications. There was just one drawback to these drugs – they had serious side effects.
One moment I would be walking the next I would be clutching the nearest object or person to prevent falling during a dizzy spell. I never fainted but I remember getting pretty close to that a couple of times. I almost always had a headache when on the medication and as if that was not enough, I felt weak and fatigued most of the time. Let’s just say it was not a fun way to live and leave it at that.
Medication for the treatment of prostate enlargement had such serious side effects that I finally gave up on them and looked for an alternative. Since I did not know anyone who had suffered from the condition, I searched online for another remedy. During my search, I found out that many men used vitamin supplements to deal with BPH. After getting a go-ahead from my doctor, I ordered my first pack from Body by Nature (the site had come up multiple times during my searches). It also had a comprehensive list of ingredients all aimed at treating BPH.
Each capsule had 100mg of Beta-sitosterol, a compound known for negating the symptoms of BPH. Additionally, the presence of stinging nettle and pumpkin seed extracts elevated the promise of the vegan supplements. Stinging nettle helps in the control of urine flow whereas pumpkin seeds have been shown to reduce the size of the prostate in the past. Zinc indicated that the vegan supplements would help in normal cell growth.
My delivery was made a day after placing the order. I found its timeliness and the fact that it was free impressive. I now have fewer problems with my urinary system, and suffer none of the side effects of BPH medication. This product has definitively improved my quality of life.
