  • How can I shrink an enlarged prostate?

    From Mike Dippel@999:1/1 to All on Thu Jan 8 21:50:10 2026
    You can shrink an enlarged prostate by reducing inflammation and balancing hormones
    through lifestyle and diet.

    Focus on zinc-rich foods, tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, and green tea, while avoiding red
    meat, alcohol, and caffeine.

    Regular pelvic exercises and walking also improve circulation and ease symptoms.

    Mike,

    I originally had the Urolift surgery done, which I thought was great...
    until kidney stones worked their way into the staples. So, the procedure
    had to be reversed, and they had to remove the center part of the prostate.

    I think of the scene from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit??". Eddie Valiant
    made a comment of checking with the probate, to find out about Marvin
    Acme's will (he was murdered, and no one could find the will).

    Roger Rabbit said "Yeah, check the probate. My Uncle Sumner had a problem with his probate. He had to take these big pills, and drink lots of water!!".

    An enlarged prostate can be reduced or controlled with medications that relax or shrink the
    gland, and in more advanced cases with minimally invasive treatments or surgery.

    Staying physically active, managing weight, limiting alcohol and caffeine, and avoiding
    late-night fluids can noticeably improve symptoms and slow progression.

    Mike,

    An enlarged prostate can be reduced or controlled with
    medications that relax or shrink the gland, and in more
    advanced cases with minimally invasive treatments or surgery.

    I had undergone the Urolift procedure for BPH (enlarged prostate),
    and I loved it. However, a kidney stone became lodged in one of the
    staples, and they had to undo the Urolift, and do a TURP (cut out
    the center of my prostate) instead.
