I. Introduction
Testosterone deficiency
Testosterone is a male hormone. Besides promoting libido, it has other
important functions such as maintaining muscle mass and forming bone,
and regulating heart muscle and cholesterol. It also helps to improve
the oxygen levels throughout the body as well as controlling blood
glucose and strengthening the immune system. Starting at age 40 levels
of testosterone start to diminish, the levels of the by-product
prolactin of testosterone of men increases, stimulating the production
of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase that causes the conversion of
testosterone to gihydro-testosterones DHT thus triggering low levels of
testosterone.
Prostate Gland
Prostate gland is a gland that makes and stores semen. It is located
below the bladder and surrounds the tube that carries urine out of your
body. starting at age 40,the levels of the by-product prolactin of
testosterone of men increases, stimulating the production of the enzyme
5-alpha reductase that causes the conversion of testosterone to
gihydro-testosterones DHT triggering prostate enlargement and other
problems. Therefore in order to prevent the symptoms of enlarged
prostate is to naturally impend the conversion of testosterone to DHT.
Unfortunately, aging is not the only cause of enlarged prostate.
II. Causes of enlarged prostate and prostate cancer because of testosterone deficiency
By the age of 40, the levels of testosterone of men start to decrease
resulting in the by-product prolactin of testosterone of men to
increase, stimulating the production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase
that causes the conversion of testosterone to gihydro-testosterones DHT
triggering prostate enlargement and prostate cancer. Excess estrogen
seems to be the culprit in prostate enlargement that leads to the
pathology and favors the development of prostate cancer.
III. Symptoms of enlarged prostate and prostate cancer because of testosterone deficiency
1. Frequent or difficult urination
2. Dribbling
3. Urinary urgency
4. Discomfort/pain in the penis
5. Low back pain
6. Reduced urinary stream
7. Hesitancy before or during urination
8. Reducing sexual desire
9. Anxiety about having sex
10. Need to urinate often especially at night
11. Blood in urine
12. Burning during urine
13. Painful ejaculation
III. Prevention and Treatment
In this case, since the problem of prostate gland is caused by
testosterone deficiency it is the urgent need to increase the levels of
testosterone and provide nutrition for the prostate.
A) Natural remedies for preventing and treating testosterone deficiency
1. Dark green leaf
Dark green leaf juice contains high amounts of vitamins C and E. Besides
helping to reduce levels of cholesterol, high blood pressure and
regulate blood glucose resulting in improved blood circulation to vital
organs in our body. It also helps to fight the forming of free radicals
and rejuvenates our cell and cleans up the clogged up receptor sites
that helps to raise levels of testosterone.
2.Goat Meat
Goat meat contains high amounts of protein, iron, magnesium, and zinc.
Iron specifically offers the added benefit of raising levels of oxygen
in the blood that is essential for providing nutrition to cell needs. High protein and zinc are two nutrients that help to optimize free testosterone levels and muscle-building.
3. Cold water fish
Besides plenty of omega 3, cold water fish is an excellent source of
vitamin A and zinc that help the binding of sex hormones, specifically
testosterone and estradiol.
4. Muira Pauma
Muira pauma are stems and roots of a ptychopetalum plant in South
America. It has been used as an aphrodisiac, tonic and cure for muscle
paralysis and strengthening the liver function that helps to cure the
hormone imbalance in aging men. Study shows that muira pauma is a libido enhancer.
5. Milk thistle
Milk thistle helps restore the liver function that helps to eliminate
the surplus of estrogen and sex hormone binding globulin that allow the
increasing of levels of free testosterone.
6. Maca
Maca is a vegetable root or tuber that grows in the high Andean plateaus
of Peru at high altitudes. It helps our body to nourish the pituitary
gland that helps to increase the production of our own human hormones
such as testosterone.
7. Ginseng
Ginseng in Chinese medicine is used as a pituitary strengthening herb. It also contains herbs
that benefits the endocrine system in resulting of tonifying the entire
endocrine system and helping the release of human growth hormone (HGH).
8. Horny Goat Weed
orny goat weed contains a variety of flavonoids such as icariin that
helps to relax the blood vessels leading to the penis, which allows them
to expand resulting in a stronger and harder erection. It also helps to
treat low levels of testosterone and increase sexual desire at the same
time
9. DHEA
DHEA allows our body to create other hormones such as testosterone.
Study shows that DHEA is a precursor to sex hormones, the deficiency of
DHEA causes the deficiency of other sex hormones resulting in a loss of
bone density, increasing of body mass, hardening of blood vessels, and
low sex drive.
10. Chorella
Chlorella containing beta carotene and chlorophyll is a powerful
antioxidant that helps to strengthen the immune system by blocking the
formation of free radicals, improving oxygen levels for cell needs and
nitric oxygen stimulating the enlargement of the penis through sexual
desire.
11. Zinc and iron
Deficiency of zinc and iron causes the depletion of oxygen level and
poor circulation of the bloodstream as undirectly resulting in erectile
dysfunction. Since zinc also promotes healthy prostate glands that
increases the release of prostate fluids that helps to stimulate the
sexual desire by increasing the production of levels of free
testosterone.
B) Natural remedies for preventing and treating prostate cancer and enlarged prostate.
1. Soy bean and legume
Soybeans and legumes contains isoflavones and is a unique source of
phytochemicals It directly inhibits the growth of different types of
cancer cells and protects the prostate from being enlarged. Study shows
that isoflavones were found to markedly inhibit prostate tumors in mice
implanted with prostate cancer cells. Try adding soy or rice milk to
your morning cereal or oatmeal.
2. Papaya
Papayas are rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin A,
carotenoids and flavonoids that have cardio protective and anti-cancer
effects. Eating papayas help to promote lung health and prevents the
prostate from becoming enlarged and prevents prostate cancer.
3. Green tea
Green tea contains the antioxidant phytochemicals called polyphenols
that attack growth factors and proteins, interrupting processes that
increase the size of tumors, thus preventing them from spreading to
other parts of the body. Green tea also help to prevent the development
of benign prostate hyperplasia such as enlarged prostate and prostate
cancer.
4. Bee pollen
Bee pollen is an antioxidant containing high amounts of flavonoids, zinc
and many other elements needed by our bodies. It has an astounding
record at reversing prostate cancer and other prostate problems such as
enlarged prostate.
5. Glycine
Glycine is also found in fairly large amounts in the prostate fluid and
may for this reason be important in prostate health. It is required to
build proteins in the body and synthesis of nucleic acids, the
construction of RNA as well as DNA, bile acids and other amino acids in
the body. Study shows that glycine, taken withalanine and glutamic acid
help to reduced the amount of swelling in the prostate tissue.
6. Saw palmetto
Saw palmetto is the number one choice when it comes to prostate health.
Recent study of American Society for cell biology shows that saw
palmetto inhibited prostate cancer cell growth in the test tube. It has
been used for a long time as an herb to treat an enlarged prostate gland
in men. It may also be used to treat prostate cancer. This herbal
remedy has no significant side effects and only rarely causes mild
stomach upset or diarrhea.
7. Pumpkin seed extract
Pumpkin seeds contain high amounts of zinc and fatty acids which is
necessary for the prostate's health. Pumpkin seed extract helps to tone
the bladder muscles, relax the sphincter mechanism and recongest the
prostate.
8. Uva ursi
Uva ursi is an evergreen perennial shrub. It has been used since the
year 150AD by various civilizations to treat urinary tract infections,
kidney problems, Prostate, and bladder dysfunction.
9. Patrinia (Bai jiang cao)
Patrinia helps the body get rid of prostate inflammation and damp heat
that exists in the body. In Chinese medicine damp heat in the prostate
could be caused by bacteria infection, drugs and other conditions such
as a habit of eating hot, spicy or greasy foods.
10. He shou wu
He shou wu contains several derivatives of tetrahydroxystilbene. These
antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds may act as an estrogen,
reducing levels of circulating male hormones such as DHT that fuel the
growth of prostate cancer.
11. Astragalus root
Astragalus root is a sprawling perennial legume. The Chinese medicine
uses the dried sliced or powdered root of the plant to enhance immune
function by increasing the activity of certain white blood cells, which
increases the production of antibodies. It also helps to increase the
body's resistance to infections, to heal the allergies, and to raise and
renew the vitality.
By combining the use of these natural remedies, it will help to raise
the levels of free testosterone and promote a strong prostate gland. I
hope this information will help in preventing and treating enlarged
prostate and prostate cancer caused by testosterone deficiency.
