There’s no one-size-fits-all approach when you have an enlarged prostate and you’re trying to decide what to do next.
People react in their own way to the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition for men as they age.
You can talk about your symptoms with your health care practitioner, and together you can decide on the best way for you to handle your case. Your options may include:
- Watchful waiting and lifestyle changes
- Medications or supplements
- Surgery
SUPPLEMENTS
SAW PALMETTO
Saw palmetto is commonly used in Europe and the United States as a treatment for enlarged prostate.
Some small studies have shown benefit. However, several large studies do not show that saw palmetto reduces the size of the prostate or eases the urinary symptoms that come with an enlarged prostate. You might hear your health care practitioner call that condition “benign prostate hyperplasia,” or BPH.
Before you take saw palmetto, or any supplement for that matter, talk with your pharmacist first. They may interfere with prescription medicines, other treatments, or tests you might need.
Some small studies have shown saw palmetto might help you with BPH symptoms in several ways. Among them:
You may need to get up less often at night to pee.
It can improve your flow when you go.
It can ease painful urination.
Interactions: If you take any medicines regularly, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you start using saw palmetto supplements.
They could mix poorly with medicines such as aspirin, NSAID painkillers such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) and naproxen (Aleve), blood thinners, and hormone treatments.
In combination with ginkgo biloba or garlic, saw palmetto might seriously increase the risk of bleeding.
