Let's talk about benign prostatic hyperplasia. What does hyperplasia mean? It means enlargement.

Okay, so this BPH problem is basically an enlarged prostate. It affects your urination. The stream

of your urine is a bit on the weak side. You might find that you dribble after you urinate.

And you just might have the sensation that your

bladder is not empty. So we're going to talk about this. And there's actually this one drink

that you can consume every day to help you shrink the prostate. But more important than the remedy

is to understand the mechanism and how you develop this problem in the first place. A lot of men, as they get

older, develop this condition, and some even develop prostate cancer. So this video is going to

cover both topics. So basically, you have this prostate that is just underneath your urinary

bladder, and there's a little tube that comes out of the urinary bladder, okay, that's called

the urethra, and the prostate wraps around that. And normally it should be small, but when it

enlarges, it becomes bigger and it can constrict the little tube that allows urine to flow

and even become so big it can push up into the urinary bladder,

decreasing the volume of your urinary bladder. So you really don't have the full capacity to hold

urine. All of the estrogen that women have and that men have actually originate from

testosterone. So estrogen is a byproduct of testosterone. And to convert testosterone

to estrogen, you need this enzyme called aromatase. And aromatase is made by the testicle

as well as your fat cells. so that's number one of this

foundation number two excess estrogen increases the size of a prostate that's

interesting because you probably thought that your problem was too much testosterone

but if that's true then why does testosterone decrease with age?

In men, estrogen increases with age.
