Email this article to a friend DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone): Is DHEA Contraindicated in Men with Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) or Prostate Cancer? Ward Dean, M.D. DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is the most abundant steroid hormone in the body. It is also one of the most significant age-related biomarkers, which predictably declines with age in even the healthiest of people (Fig 1). Abnormally low levels of DHEA have been reported to be related to a number of diseases, including cancer, diabetes, coronary artery disease, obesity, and Alzheimers. Supplemental DHEA has been reported in study after study to have immunoregulatory, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, anti-obesity and anti-stress activity, and to be involved in the prevention of atherosclerosis, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, Alzheimers disease and multiple sclerosis. (9, 2) Nevertheless, one controversy plagues many physicians, their patients, and consumers who are considering the addition of DHEA to their supplement regimens. This controversy involves whether men with prostate diseaseeither benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) or prostate cancershould take DHEA. This question stems from the much-speculated possibility that DHEA could aggravate both conditions, based on the belief that DHEA is converted in the body into testosterone, and that testosterone, and/or its metabolite, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) causes or worsens BPH and prostate cancer. Lets examine each of these issues separately and review some of the laboratory and clinical studies that are relevant to these questions.

BPH is a non-malignant (non-cancerous) enlargement of the prostate gland - a common occurrence in older men. It is caused by an overgrowth of prostate cells. This enlargement constricts the urethra so the flow of urine is reduced, making it increasingly difficult to empty the bladder. BPH generally begins in a man's 30's, evolves slowly and usually only causes symptoms after 50. Although BPH is an extremely common condition, only 10 per cent of men need medical or surgical intervention. It is not a precursor to prostate cancer. var zflag_nid="286"; var zflag_cid="24/4/2"; var zflag_sid="0"; var zflag_width="125"; var zflag_height="125"; var zflag_sz="6"; var zflag_nid="286"; var zflag_width="120"; var zflag_height="60"; var zflag_sz="4";

Prostatic Hyperplasia ("Benign Prostate Hypertrophy") This is the prostate and bladder from an autopsy. The man had "benign prostatic hypertrophy", the common enlargement of the prostate gland seen in most older men. In the first photo, the prostate is on the bottom, and the bladder, with its front opened, is on top. You can see the enlarged central lobe of the prostate gland protruding into the bladder cavity. The prostate gland obstructed outflow from the bladder, forcing the bladder wall to become thicker and stronger. The second picture shows a photomicrograph of the prostate. Notice the large number of complex, infolded glands. The third picture shows a gland at high power. Notice that its epithelium is infolded. Even within the glands, the cells are too numerous.

Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy Home Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) The symptoms of BPH are a progressive frequency and urgency, difficulty initiating urination, decreased urine flow and force, and nocturia. Upon rectal examination the prostate is enlarged and has a rubbery consistency, and an abdominal exam may reveal a distended bladder that is palpable or percussible. The congestion of the of the superficial veins of the prostate and the trigone muscle of the bladder can cause hematuria if the patient strains while trying to void. Burning sensations and fever indicate secondary infection. The treatment of BPH is essentially the same as it is for chronic nonbacterial prostatitis. Treatment strategies for secondary infection will resemble that of bacterial prostatitis. Saw Palmetto (Serenoa serrulata) is one botanical that has undergone extensive investigation in the treatment of BPH, and has been found to inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, reduce inflammation, lower androgenic activity, and prevent spasm. It is by no means the only herb for BPH and should not be relied upon exclusively. Pumpkin and squash seeds (Cucurbita spp.)

Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy, ("BPH") [To print this page click here] What is BPH? Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy is sometimes called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or just BPH. BPH is a swelling of the prostate gland. The prostate gland lies under the bladder. It surrounds the urethra, (the tube you pass urine through), as it leaves the bladder. It is only present in men. It is about the size of a walnut. BPH is not cancerous and does not normally develop into cancer. BPH develops slowly in most men, as they become older. Around 50% of men are affected by the time they are 50 years old and over 80% are affected at the age of 80. What are the symptoms of BPH? The first symptoms relate to urinating. As the prostate very gradually grows, it squeezes on the urethra that passes through it. The symptoms may include: difficulty in starting to pass water - even up to 30 seconds to start; difficulty in stopping passing water - it dribbles on for a while; poor urine flow - 'can't hit the back of the pan'; pain or burning sensation when passing urine;

The prostate is a walnut sized gland that is only present in men. It is located just below the bladder and top of the penis. This gland surrounds the urethra ( the tube through which urine flows from the bladder and out through the penis ). It is a very astonishing fact to know that the condition BPH has been explained in ayurveda long back. The anatomical position of prostate gland, symptoms of BPH and its remedies are explained by Acharya Sushruta. The anatomical position of prostate gland is described in ayurvedic classics as follows In Yogaratnakara it has been described as Which means “ Below umbilicus (NAABHI), there is a hard gland which is little bit bulged and changes its place some times and some times stays stationary. This gland is like “Ashteela” (A small stone used to sharpen swords). This gland when affected by vitiated vata causes a disease called “vataashteela” (or benign prostate hypertrophy)

98. Non Pharmacological Treatment Of BPH (Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy) Remember that alpha blockers do not stop future prostate hypertrophy but only give relief as far as symptoms of prostatism are concerned. http://bhj.org/journal/2002_4401_jan/cost_93.htm

NON PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENT OF BPH (BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERTROPHY) OP Kapoor Ex. Hon. Physician, Jaslok Hospital and Bombay Hospital, Mumbai, Ex. Hon. Prof. of Medicine, Grant Medical College and JJ Hospital, Mumbai 400 008. People usually develop early symptoms of enlarged prostate after the age of 50 and most of the men have markedly enlarged prostate by the age of 80 (often with associated cancer). Most of the above patients develop symptoms of prostatism, now known as ‘Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms’ (LUTS). These are due to irritability of the bladder (now labelled as ‘storage’ symptoms), the symptoms being frequency of urine, nocturia, urgency and urge incontinence. If the prostate is moderately enlarged, then patients could have obstructive (now known as ‘voiding’) symptoms like hesitancy (starting trouble), poor stream, straining to void, intermittency of flow, dysuria, post-micturition dribbling or incomplete evacuation. In my opinion (consistent with the modern world literature) diagnosing prostatism should be handled like detecting hypertension which is so common in normal population. Most of the GPs will be eager to prescribe some drug. All hypertensive patients should be immediately treated with non-pharmacological (DASH) line of treatment first. It should be tried for a few months or even longer before prescribing any drug. In private practice, the doctors should manage prostatism problem in the same manner. There will be some part of the population which is not bothered by these symptoms and can be left alone. For the rest of them, ‘non-pharmacological treatment’ should always be advised first, before putting the patients on alpha blockers permanently (the cost of which is about Rs. 300-500 per month at least and that too for a lifetime).
