Learn More »If you’re a man over 50, you have a one in three chance of having benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the most common benign tumor found in men. BPH causes symptoms such as lack of bladder control, increased urinary frequency, and urgency and pain. For those with minor symptoms, medication or diet changes can help, but as symptoms increase, surgery is often the next step. But for men who are not candidates for surgery, or have a strong desire to avoid surgery, prostatic artery embolization (PAE) is a new treatment option.

In fact, men who drink more than is otherwise good for them have fewer prostate symptoms and better sexual function than teetotalers. A low-carb/high-fat diet slows the growth of prostate tumor cells.
Several meeting reports focused on how lifestyle affects the symptoms of an enlarged prostate and the risk of prostate cancer prostate cancer . May 22, 2006 - If you're a drinker or an Atkins dieter, there's good news for you from this week's annual meeting of the American Urological Association in Atlanta. It's one of those things that people -- including urologists -- nearly all believe. Men with an enlarged prostate , they say, shouldn't drink alcoholic beverages. It's supposed to make the symptoms of an enlarged prostate -- urinary flow, urinary irritation, and poor sexual function -- worse. There isn't much scientific evidence for this, says Claus Georg Roehrborn, MD, of the University of Texas Southwest Medical Center at Dallas. So Roehrborn and colleagues analyzed data from 19,000 men enrolled in six different international clinical trials of treatments for enlarged prostate and prostate cancer. Some of these over-45-year-old men said they didn't drink at all. Others said they had no more than two, three to six, or more than six drinks a week. (A drink, in this study, was 1 ounce of 80-proof liquor, a small glass of wine, or a glass of beer.) "The patients who claim they drank more complained of less irritative and obstructive symptoms," Roehrborn said at a news conference. "The more alcohol people said they were consuming, the better their urine flow, and the better their libido." Does this mean a man with an enlarged prostate should take up drinking? No, Roehrborn says. But he argues that doctors should stop telling men their prostate symptoms will get better if they stop drinking.
