At Last Collastin Prostate Enlargement

The prostate is a doughnut-shaped gland in men that sits underneath the bladder and wraps around the urinary outlet, or urethra. When the prostate becomes inflamed and swells, it squeezes down on the urethra and makes it difficult to urinate and completely empty the bladder. This results in urine retention causing the bladder to become enlarged, tender, and weak. This can also result in infection of the bladder and eventually migrates to the kidneys. The three most common forms of swelling of this gland are infective prostatitis, non-infective prostatitis, and benign prostatic hypertrophy, or BPH.

A very common story that kept popping up when treating older men for arthritis with Collastin was that they were not starting to empty their bladders once again. It didn't happen in all cases of enlarged prostate, and it took a little while to understand the mechanism. Since Collastin has these very effective qualities of being an anti-inflammatory and an immune system modulator, it started to make some sense to me. A very common type of prostate enlargement is non-infective prostatitis, which some authorities believe to be related to some sort of autoimmune disorder. Collastin has been found to be effective in helping to regulate immune systems that have gone astray and are damaging healthy tissues.

Infective prostatitis is due to a bacterial infection. Eighty percent of the bacteria involved in this condition are strains of Escherichia coli. Collastin--as you already know--will address the inflammatory process and reduce the swelling. And several professionals that I've talked with about this nutrient believe that it also has the ability to stimulate the immune system, which helps fight viral and bacterial infections.

Benign prostatic hypertrophy occurs in over half of all men past the age of 40. The projected annual cost of hospital care and surgery for BPH is over $1 billion dollars in the United States alone. It's caused by a decrease in testosterone and free testosterone, and an increase in other hormones like prolactin and estradiol. This causes increased levels of dihydrotestosterone, which leads to an overproduction of prostate cells and increased size of the prostate gland. Natural treatments, including saw palmetto, African pygeum, zinc, and flaxseed oil, have been used with excellent results in treating BPH. I have not used Collastin to treat this condition, but it may help. My gut feeling is that Collastin will have more of an effect on the infective and non-infective prostatitis.
