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). This condition that affects many men over the age of 50 causes symptoms that can include urgency with weak flow, frequency and dribbling and frequent waking at night to urinate. NSAID medications are taken by many senior men to help prevent a second heart attack and for relief from arthritis pain.
Comments
I have had an enlarged prostate since my teen years, and am 65 years old now. I have taken a daily aspirin for many years. About 25 years ago, I started taking one aspirin a couple of hours before having sex. I found that it prevents my prostate from becoming irritated and/or inflamed.
I hope this info will be helpful to others.
