Prostate Health Supplements

Introduction to Prostate Health and Prostate Problems

The prostate gland is located below the bladder and is normally about the size of a walnut and produces the liquid component of semen (prostatic fluid) which is vital for effective reproduction. As men age they are more at risk of an enlarged prostate; in some cases this results in obstruction of the bladder and the production of bothersome symptoms commonly known as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

Prostate problems are common and in the UK alone 3.2 million men, over one 1/3 of men aged 50 ⁽¹⁾ and up to 2/3 of men by the age of 60, ⁽²⁾ suffer from the symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).

Due to the location of the prostate, non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia – BPH) can result in squeezing of the urethra which can make it more difficult to pass urine. The symptoms of BPH which affect the lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra) are called ‘obstructive’ or ‘irritative’ symptoms and in addition a link has been highlighted ⁽³⁾ between decreased erectile function and lower urinary tacked symptoms (LUTS) associated BPH.

Common Symptoms of Prostate Problems

Obstructive symptoms are caused by the prostate putting pressure on the urethra, narrowing it and making it harder for urine to pass.

Irritative symptoms tend to be secondary to the obstructive symptoms as the bladder needs to work harder to function normally; the bladder thickens and reduces in capacity to hold urine.

Prostate Health Supplements from The Urology Company

UroMaxi Flow^® and UroVital^® Complex are natural food supplements that have been formulated specifically to assist in the maintenance of prostate health and urinary tract function and have been designed to be taken either in combination with prescription medicines or on their own. Individual components were selected due to their potential role in supporting the maintenance of a healthy prostate and urinary tract.

The table below lists all the changes in normal urinary function which may be associated with BPH.

These troublesome and unpleasant changes in normal urinary function do not just impair quality of life of patients and their families but also increase the risk of serious conditions such as acute urinary retention, hospitalisation and surgery ⁽⁴⁾.
