Aspirin For Prostate Health

Wednesday August 30, 2006
Researchers from the Mayo Clinic found that a daily aspirin or other NSAID drug helps prevent the occurrence of urinary symptoms caused by enlargement of the prostate known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

NSAID medications are taken by many senior men to help prevent a second heart attack and for relief from arthritis pain.
