Prostate and Inflamation

This may seem like an oversimplification. But a lot of pain (and disease, sickness, etc) more or less boils down to inflammation.  This goes for prostate pain as well as for other kinds of pain.  When you're in a state of inflammation, you are far more prone to health problems. This is also true of ye olde prostate, too. Inflammation is probably the problem. Get rid of that, and you get rid of pain. But as they say... the "devil is in the details" and that's why people spend billions of dollars each year on overcomplicated pills and procedures that might mask the pain, but don't get rid of the actual inflammation. Take prostate surgery, for example. It doesn't always work. Or, if it does, it can be just temporary. And the problem comes back later. We don't have prostate problems because of a lack of surgery or prescription drugs, after all. Just something to think about. Attack inflammation and attack the REAL problem. The food...

Prostate supplements, which is the best?

People often ask me about prostate supplements. Which ones do I take? Which ones do I recommend? The answer is... it depends. But it's true -- what works for me, may not necessarily work at all for you, and vice versa.  There are just too many factors at play (including your unique medical history, allergies, etc).  This is why you really should consult your doctor before taking any new supplement. Usually people say that just to cover their butts. But the reality is, you do need to check. And this is especially true if you are on any kind of prescription medication (whether for your prostate or anything else). Anyway, just something to think about. If you want to know, I use "SSP3-Forte" Link for more information about SSP3-Forte: http://bph-prostate-enlarged.blogspot.pt/2018/04/about-ssp3-forte.html

The prostate pain… it's not just an "old man's" disease anymore?

A lot of truck drivers tend to have prostate pain. So do bus drivers, motorcycle riders, limo chauffeurs, and other people who spend all day in a vehicle bouncing around, constantly putting pressure on their "nether region." A lot of it is because all that sitting (not good for long periods of time) with pressure constantly hitting their prostate from vibrations in the vehicle is wreaking havoc on them. Same with men who ride bikes a lot. Or anyone who puts pressure on their groin for long periods. Plus, sitting all day makes for a sedentary lifestyle. I have this problem myself. I have to force myself to get up every 15 minutes or so, or run the risk of having not only prostate pain, but other pains (testicular, leg cramping, blood clotting). If you think about it, it's kind of ironic. Man has lived by the sweat of his brow for thousands of years. But in the last 50 years that all changed. We started having more desk jobs, long commutes and wa...

Bike riding is bad for your prostate?

Bike Riding / Prostate...Here's something to think about. When I first started having prostate pains, one of the things I was doing was riding my bike every day for about 11 miles.  I had gotten into a groove doing this, and felt great... except for some of the prostate symptoms. I did not make the connection at the time. And, really, I can't say for sure there IS a connection. But, consider this: I recently knew of this other guy with a similar story. He had never had any prostate pain before and was always proud of his PSA test numbers. Until, that is, when he started riding his bike 25 miles per day. And what happened is this: About 6 months later he started having trouble peeing. His next PSA score was up a few whole points. And, when he cooled off on riding his bike so much, those symptoms pretty much all went away, and his PSA levels went back down. Again, could be coincidence. And I'm not saying not to ride your bike. But if you ride your bike a lot, see what happen...

Prostate Pain

There's lots of great prostate pain tips out there. Some involve eating right. Some involve supplementing. Some involve simply having more sex ("Vitamin S", baby). But, there are some prostate problems you can't fix with a pill, or food or surgery or medications or anything (not even Vitamin S...) really. Talking about the genetic ones. Some people just have bad genes. Kind of like prostate "mutants." I'm in that camp. And, frankly, this is why I would not be surprised if I got beeotch-slapped with another round of prostate problems later in my life. I think about it a lot, actually. But, I refuse to wait around for it to happen. And, you shouldn't either. Here's what I mean: I heard a doctor once explain that, even if you have bad genes for certain health conditions, if you take certain vitamins and minerals and nutrients, you may be able to stave them off. Kinda like they're filling in a "gap" in your health. That's why I tak...
