Boy, this large prostate situation is extremely common as the man ages one out of two, that's 50% will get in a large prostate.

And this is called benign prostatic hyperplasia, which basically means in a large prostate.

Now, before I get into what to do because this is actually not a terribly complex problem if you understand it.

And also there's a great solution, which I'm going to give to you, but I want to just first differentiate what is the difference between BPH and cancer of the prostate.

Are they similar? They're not too similar. In fact, they're pretty different in cancer. You have these normal cells that then get damage specifically the mitochondria and then they switch over to cancer cells. Okay.

And so with prostate cancer, that can spread through the body and it can kill you. It's very deadly, but with BPH, it's benign, which means it's not going to spread. It's not going to turn into cancer. It is not deadly.

Now, with the symptoms of prostate cancer, you're going to get blood in the urine, you're going to get blood in the semen, you're going to have painful urination, you're going to have a difficult time with an erection, you may have pain with ejaculation.

And so the symptoms are very different than BPH, where really this involves just the urinary tract mostly. You're going to get up to the night and want to urinate, you may have the urge to urinate but can't urinate or you can't fully eliminate the bladder.

So it's a bit incomplete. So at BPH, you just have a lot of different urination issues, simply because the prostate is a gland and it wraps around the urethra, which is a little tube from your urinary bladder that comes out through your penis.

And as the prostate enlarges, it obstructs the tube and you're not able to fully eliminate freely all the urine that's supposed to come out through the urinary bladder.

So you're going to start and stop and start and stop and have dribbling and all sorts of issues, but the prostate should only be the size of a walnut, but it can actually get quite large.

Now, with the prostate cancer, a big question is, will phyto nutrients, specifically phytoastrogens make things worse?

There are certain compounds in herbs and vegetables that mimic astrogens, okay, they're called phytoastrogens.

And we know estrogen dominance in general can cause cancer and women, breast cancer, and also men as well.

And a lot of the chemicals in the environment mimic estrogen, like the pesticides and synthesizers, herbicides, fungicides, highly metals, they're all considered estrogen disruptors or endocrine disruptors.

But when we get to plant-based astrogens, like phytoastrogens, there's a couple of things you need to know.

With phytoastrogens, you can prevent prostate cancer.

You can slow down the progression if you have prostate cancer in the early stages, but if you're in a stage of three or four or more, you may want to hesitate because there is some data that these phytoastrogens can actually make things worse.

But I want to make a side note, the studies that I read on this were relating to castrated mouths.

So if someone's castrated and they have advanced stages of cancer, they should not consume any phytoastrogens, even in small amounts, because it can make things worse.

However, the purpose of this video is to focus more on enlarged prostate.

We're going to talk about that. So there's two main theories about why men develop a benign prosthetic hyperplasia.
