In this video, we’re going to talk about how to shrink your enlarged prostate and stop nighttime bathroom trips.
50% of men will have an enlarged prostate during their lifetime. An enlarged prostate is also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This condition can cause frequent urination and sleep interruptions.
Is BPH the same as prostate cancer? BPH is actually very different from prostate cancer—take a look.
BPH:
• Not deadly
• Does not turn into cancer
• Does not spread
• Urination problems
Prostate cancer:
• Damaged normal mitochondria turn into cancer
• Can spread
• Painful urination
• Blood in urine
• Erectile dysfunction
• Painful ejaculation
• Blood in semen
Estrogen may be responsible for many prostate cancer cases. Food-sourced phytoestrogens could be beneficial for those with early-stage cancer. However, they may increase your risks if you have stage 3 to 4 cancer.
Type 2 estrogen increases your risk of BPH. Phytoestrogens can help decrease type 2 estrogen. Aromatase inhibitors and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors may also lower your risk of BPH.
Causes of an enlarged prostate:
1. Decreased testosterone and increased estrogen
As you age, your testosterone decreases and your estrogen increases. Type 2 estrogen is the primary cause of an enlarged prostate.
2. DHT
Aside from causing hair loss, DHT can also increase your risk of an enlarged prostate. High levels of 5-alpha reductase can increase DHT.
