62. Finasteride For Prostatic Hypertrophy The effect of finasteride on the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for surgical treatment among men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. http://www.journalclub.org/vol2/a61.html

The effect of finasteride on the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for surgical treatment among men with benign prostatic hyperplasia Authors McConnell M, Bruskewitz R, Walsh P, Andriole G, Lieber M, Holtgrewe H, Waldstreicher J, et al for the Finasteride Long-Term Efficacy and Safety Study Group Source New England Journal of Medicine. 338:557-63. February 26, 1998. Institutions Multiple university hospitals in the United States, Queen's University, Canada and Merck Research Laboratories. Support Merck Background Finasteride decreases the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone and can reduce the volume of the prostate in men with prostatic hypertrophy. This study was designed to look at the efficacy of finasteride in improving symptoms and reducing the incidence of urinary retention and prostate surgery in men with symptomatic, enlarged prostate glands. Methods Patients Patients were enrolled between 1990 and 1992. Inclusion criteria: Men with a serum PSA between 4.0 and 9.9 were required to have a negative biopsy for cancer. Exclusion criteria: Use of alpha-blockers, anti-androgens, chronic prostatitis, prostate or bladder cancer or surgery.

PRINT THIS PAGE SEND THIS TO A FRIEND Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) Most men over the age of 50 develop benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), an enlargement of the gland that may be due to accumulation of testosterone in it. This condition can be asymptomatic or it can cause a number of urinary problems: increased frequency, decreased force of urination, and nighttime awakening to empty the bladder. If these symptoms become severe, doctors will urge surgery to remove all or part of the gland. It is worth trying to manage symptomatic BPH by natural methods before resorting to surgery: Avoid the prostatic irritants listed above. Try herbal remedies recommended in the Vitamin Advisor. Add soy foods to the diet. The phytoestrogens in soybeans may greatly reduce the risks of both BPH and prostate cancer. Men 50 and older should get a PSA blood test, useful as a screen for prostate cancer. advertisement About Us Contact Us Media Kit Site Map All material provided on the DrWeil.com Web site is provided for informational or

Low Graphics Print Friendly Welcome About us ... Useful links Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) A cross section through the prostate showing its relationship to neighbouring structures Benign enlargement of the prostate, otherwise known as benign prostatic hypertrophy transurethral prostatectomy , or TURP. In this operation a tube is inserted through the penis along the urethra to clear away the physical obstruction. Because the enlargement of the prostate is a process that takes place over many years, medical treatment of BPH is generally less effective than surgery. Medical treatments for benign enlargement will take a considerable period of time to improve urinary symptoms. It is estimated that over a period of approximately one year, 30% of patients will have a 30% improvement of their urinary symptoms with medical treatments. A TURP will lead to an improvement in nearly all patients. Medical treatment of prostatic enlargement is generally reserved for those patients who are not fit for surgery. Where there is a very long waiting list for surgery, your GP may give you medical treatment to ease the condition during the wait for definitive surgery. Medical treatments are also reserved for patients who do not want to have surgery but would like some treatment for their condition. Many of these treatments are hormonal and include the LHRH agonists and finasteride. Dietary supplements such as Saw Palmetto have some activity. Although we are not clear how this works, it does have an effect. © 2005 R Kirby, N Plowman, K Sikora, J Waxman -

INTERNET JOURNAL OF THE INSTITUTE FOR TRADITIONAL MEDICINE AND PREVENTIVE HEALTH CARE Herbal Therapy for Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy by Subhuti Dharmananda, Ph.D., Director, Institute for Traditional Medicine, Portland, Oregon Web Posting Date: May 2002 Key medical terms: bph, prostate, prostatitis, dihydrotestosterone, 5-alpha reductase Key Chinese medical references: lin syndromes, blood vitalizing therapy, damp-heat, kidney deficiency Drugs: Finasterid, Doxazosin Western herbs: saw palmetto, pygeum, pumpkin seeds, nettle root Chinese herbs: vacarria, plantago seed, rehmannia Chinese formulas: Guizhi Fuling Wan, Niu Che Shenqi Wan, Jingui Shenqi Wan, Tonglong Tang, Dahuang Mudan Tang Chemical constituents: sterols, aucubin, iridoids, triterpenoids SUMMARY: BPH (benign prostatic hypertrophy; an enlarged prostate) occurs with aging in most men and may be symptomatic, especially after age 60, with obstructed urinary flow.

Home Help From [TM] Serenoa Repens: A Phytotherapeutic Agent for Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy In Brief: In men with BPH, oral administration of Serenoa repens 160mg twice daily for 1 to 3 months was generally superior to placebo in improving subjective and objective symptoms of BPH. The drug appears to have similar efficacy to finasteride as evidenced by data from over 1000 men. Few significant differences were demonstrated between Serenoa repens and a -adrenoceptor blockers in small comparative studies. Gastrointestinal effects, such as nausea and abdominal pain, have been the most commonly reported adverse effects associated with Serenoa repens in clinical trials. BPH is a heterogeneous disease, consequently no single agent or group of drugs is likely to be effective in all patients. Available data suggest that Serenoa repens may be useful as an alternative to the better established agents a Introduction Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is a common condition in older men; approximately 50% of men aged 60 years and 90% of those aged 85 years present with BPH. The condition is characterised by a nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate resulting from excessive cellular growth of both the glandular and the stromal elements of the gland.

In addition to its irritative symptoms, benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) can sometimes lead to recurrent urinary tract infections, incontinence, acute retention, or a need for prostate reduction surgery. Both alpha-adrenergic blockers and finasteride have demonstrated efficacy in reducing symptoms related to BPH. One-year trials combining an alpha blocker and finasteride did not show any benefit superior to single-drug therapy in relief of urinary symptoms. McConnell and coinvestigators report on data from a four-year trial of combination therapy for BPH.

Made up of two lobes and enclosed by a layer of tissue, the prostate goes through two main periods of growth. The first occurs early in puberty, when the prostate doubles in size. At around the age of 25, the gland begins to grow again. This second growth phase often results in what is identified as an enlarged prostate. As the prostate gets larger, the layer of tissue surrounding it stops it from expanding, causing the gland to press against the urethra. While the data varies, it is believed that most men over the age of 45 experience some amount of prostate enlargement, but may live symptom free. This enlargement is usually harmless, but it often results in problems urinating later on in life. By 60, it is believed that 80% of all men experience some sort of urinary interference due to prostate enlargement.

Available from: HealthReach2000.NET Essential Fatty Acids: Fatty Acids that cannot be made by the body and which must be supplied through the diet, are called Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's), also referred to as Vitamin F. These essential fatty acids are also known as polyunsaturates, and are recommended in order to lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and to reduce the risks of heart disease and stroke. EFA's have also shown to be needed when dealing with candidiasis and coronary heart disease, and to minimize blood clot formation. Omega 3 fatty acids are very important for the brain, and are very important when depression is chronic. It is of critical importance to obtain both adequate levels and appropriate ratios of the different types of essential fatty acids. Flaxseed Oil provides an excellent source of omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids.
