Thank you, Dr. Malik. Lots of great info in this episode. I'm currently taking pumpkin seed oil for my condition, which seems to help. Also tomatoes from my garden are abundant now, so I eat them daily. A recent video on another channel claims that eating cooked tomatoes, rather than raw tomatoes, provides more benefit of lycopene, but I'm not sure about this claim. It would be interesting to study, as well, if cooking tomatoes before eating them creates less irritability in the prostate. Also, one last note: I have observed that my BPH symptoms are often decreased after ejaculation. There seems to be some sort of relaxation of the prostate tissue going on, which, in turn, increases urine flow for awhile. Thanks, again. All the best 💙

Was pleased to see you make a correlation between constipation and urinary symptoms. I've been chronically constipated for over a decade, coupled with BPH-related nocturia (80 gm prostate). I've probably consulted a half-dozen urologists & gastroenterologists over the years, ALL of whom immediately dismiss any discussion of whether the issues compound each other. I think specialization has gotten to where doctors are losing sight of the forest for the trees. Glad to see that you haven't! I have to get up every 90 minutes or so at night to urinate, but can go all day with no problem. Someone said it's because the kidneys increase urine production at night, which fills the bladder quicker, resulting in an aching belly, and the need to get up to relieve it; due to incomplete emptying, the bladder fills right back up and the process repeats. Is this accurate?

Despite the advice here, if I wake after 4am, I'll drink a coffee to go to the loo and usually I can get a few hours of beautiful sleep afterwards and wake up ready for the day.

I was listening to a interview with Dr Robert lustig. His research is on metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. 45% of Americans have fatty liver and 85% of Americans are affected by metabolic syndrome. As a result most men have a massive overabundance of insulin. And insulin is responsible for massive cell proliferation. I think this is why men get BPH as they age and their testosterone drops.

So maybe deficiency Zinc is the problem. Also you said we shouldn’t eat too much meat and eat more vegetables. I think that’s wrong. Junk foods and plants are probably the problem. Eating more meat and organs balances Zinc and Copper. And a lot more nutrients and vitamins. Then we become healthier.

Tamsulosin was prescribed by my doctor. It definitely did the trick by allowing urine to gush out like a 20 year old, but if you have blood pressure that runs a little high, it will lower your blood pressure. Two medications in one. Evidently this side effect was overlooked because I was on a separate med just for blood pressure that I no longer needed once I asked about it.

It would be great if you can make a video regarding antidiuretic hormone, the adrenals, and Kidney Health when it comes to people who pee all the time but not because of prostate enlargement but rather because the kidneys are just dumping water to the bladder continuously. I have to drink 2 to 3 gallons a day to stay hydrated and it doesn't matter how I adjust my electrolytes, it's the same. I'm currently spending a few months sleeping extra and hoping that it's just an adrenal fatigue issue that will recover after I get caught up on sleep when I didn't sleep properly for 5 years due to a life crisis. I pee out over a quart when I pee so I'm literally at capacity. It's definitely not related to the prostate with the small frequent urinations and slow urinations. Definitely has to do with how kidneys are managing filtering and water recycling. And I have a pretty good non-processed food diet can I spent years studying the all the emerging research on the diet approaches and I think I've got my diet dialed in. I know people that also have developed this that never smoked but then started vaping nicotine midlife and then ran into a major water management issue a year or two and a vaping nicotine frequently.

Regarding procedures after deciding medication isn't effective, my urologist suggests water vapor therapy and, in particular, the Rezum procedure as one of the lesser-invasive next steps, one that can be done in the office. So I'd be interested in your take on that. My symptoms are not too bad and the data he presents on potential side effects would probably make me decline the procedure.

Im 48 and already have bph. I got an mri and unfortunately doctors spotted something. I just had some biopsies taken and I dont wish this procedure to any man. Waiting for the results but the urologist says 50/50 😮💨

The BPH issue is effecting me. It’s taking a toll on my ejection force and slow pee stream. And I have not had success with a urologist even though I have great private health insurance. My theory is there is some sort of blockage in seminal vesicles which is part of the prostate.

A good urologist would probably recommend a cystoscopy for you. A camera is inserted through your urinary canal through the penis and into the prostate to check for blockages. The procedure sounds worse than it is. Aside from perhaps an uneasy sensation as the camera is inserted, it is painless. You can watch the procedure in real time.

It's no joke! Do the carnivore diet. It will fix you right up. Get the processed junk food out. That's what's causing all the inflammation. Not meat. All those studies include people that are also eating junk food. I'm battling high stress. It's taken me two years but I'm down from waking up 4 times a night to 1. And I think I'll be able to sleep through the night as soon as I get my stress down.

I can't remember the name of the movie where those guys did all of those horrible and gnarly stunts and jokes. But I love the one where the guy takes a newspaper and goes into a plumbing supply house and goes up to a toilet that is on display opens up the lid, sits down, opens up the newspaper and takes a shit! It was so dang funny!

My husband's psa total shows very high level 16.54* ng/ml He is 73 years old. MRI results impression:- MRI reveals small focal areas of diffusion restriction in the lower mid gland and apical region of the transitional zone representing PIRADS-3 lesion. There are PIRADS- 2 nodules in the transitional zone bilaterally as described. Doctor advised to get biopsy, but he refused. After 3 months his total psa came down to- 7.500 ng/ml Psa free value 0.910 Percentage 12% He doesn't have any health problems except frequent urination. He started taking Sabal Serrulata , pumpkin seeds., tomatoes etc Doctor what's your suggestions for him?

Six years ago (I'm 71 now) during a physical I had a PSA of 12. My Urologist was concerned and I had a MRI and a biopsy ( fun times) . Thankfully it came back negative for prostate cancer but it did show an enlarged prostate. The next year he had me do a first in AM urine test for prostate cancer and that came back negative as well. The only symptoms I had were a weaker stream and having to get up at night to pee. Even though I didn't have erection issues he convinced me to start taking a daily 5mg. Tadalafil tablet. It took a few weeks but it worked great and I was able to sleep through the night. Also since it was prescribed for BPH my Medicare drug plan covers it.

Excellent video. Was hoping to hear whether there is any data that shows a connection between cycling and prostate enlargement.
@itorres008
5 күн бұрын
There is limited research directly linking cycling with prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH). However, some studies have examined the potential effects of cycling on prostate health in general. Key findings include: Cycling and Prostate Health: Long-term cycling is known to exert pressure on the perineal area (the region between the anus and genitals), potentially affecting the prostate gland. Some studies suggest that this pressure could lead to temporary inflammation or irritation of the prostate, which may mimic symptoms similar to BPH (like urinary issues), but it does not necessarily cause prostate enlargement. Cycling and Prostate Cancer: There has been some debate over whether cycling increases the risk of prostate cancer. A 2014 study suggested a potential association between high-intensity cycling and a slightly increased risk of prostate cancer, but the evidence was inconclusive. Importantly, this is unrelated to prostate enlargement (BPH), which is a benign condition. Impact on PSA Levels: Cycling, particularly long-distance riding, can temporarily elevate prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, which might lead to misleading results in prostate health screenings. This elevation is typically short-term and does not indicate prostate enlargement or disease. In general, while cycling may affect the prostate temporarily (through irritation or elevated PSA), there is no strong evidence to suggest it leads to or exacerbates benign prostatic hyperplasia. If you experience discomfort or symptoms related to prostate health while cycling, adjusting your seat, taking breaks, or using padded shorts may help alleviate pressure on the area.
