Can prostate enlargement be treated with medicines and what are present methods treatment ?

Answer 1

BPH is an extremely common condition that generally affects men over 50. It is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can limit or restrict the flow of urine from the bladder.

Common signs or symptoms include: 1) Urinary hesitancy; 2) urinary frequency; 3) incomplete bladder emptying; 4) the need to strain when urinating; and 5) dribbling or decreased strength of urinary stream.

Some common medicines used in the treatment of BPH include:

1) Finasteride (Proscar)
2) Dutasteride (Avodart)

"Both [Proscar and Avodart] inhibit production of the hormone DHT, which is involved with prostate enlargement. The use of either of these drugs can either prevent progression of growth of the prostate or actually shrink the prostate in some men" (NIDDK)


Non-hormonal agents include:

3) Terazosin (Hytrin)
4) Doxazosin (Cardura)
5) Tamsulosin (Flomax)
6) Alfuzosin (Uroxatral)

The above four drugs "act by relaxing the smooth muscle of the prostate and bladder neck to improve urine flow and to reduce bladder outlet obstruction. The four drugs belong to the class known as alpha blockers" (NIDDK).

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

There is one medicine that is proven to treat prostate enlargement by actually shrinking it but I am skeptical of this claim.

It can be treated with medicines but I'm not sure about the methods of treatment.

Answer 3

Yes, Homeopathy can cure any type of prostate enlargement provided you see a professional Homeopath who knows what they're doing. Trying to self-prescribe is a big mistake.
