Suggest Treatment To Alleviate Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
No other complementary and alt therapies(CAM) proved
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The XXXXXXX Urological Association does not recommend any CAM therapies for BPH to treat Lower Urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Saw Palmetto is the only likely drug that entered its perview. It is likely to improve the symptoms. Few studies have not proven it as well. However its well tolerability and with minimal side effects makes it stand out beyond others.
For your information sake if you want to know others being considered, I source it from medscape website.
Urtica dioica (stinging nettle) May decrease LUTS when combined with saw palmetto Long-term safety unknown; risk of hypoglycemia, hypotension, CNS depression, decreased effect of warfarin
Cucurbita pepo (pumpkin seed oil extract) May decrease prostate epithelium when combined with saw palmetto and other herbal products May decrease ejaculatory volume; may cause diuresis
Hypoxis rooperi (South XXXXXXX star grass) May decrease LUTS and improve QOL given alone or in combination Possibly safe for up to 18 months of use; may cause bone marrow suppression and ventricular tachycardia
Pygeum africanum (African plum tree) May decrease LUTS and increase urine flow Likely safe
Opuntia (prickly pear cactus) May decrease urgency and bladder fullness Possibly safe up to 8 months of use; may increase risk of hypoglycemia
Hope this helps.
Can you please let me know if YOU would feel comfortable to take XXXXXXX plum trea if you would have my condition?
Thank you for your follow-up on this matter.
Regard, XXXXXXX

Hi,
If I were you I would take XXXXXXX plum tree if it really good and it tastes good. At the same time I employ caution of moderate consumption. If not tasty, I would have them once in a week and I would rely on all fruits which are natural.
