Blue Sky Herbal - Prostate Care 60 Capsules

Highly potent & balanced combination of Prostate supportive herbs Helps maintain healthy prostate & reproductive system Supports healthy bladder function & clears toxins Promotes strong & healthy urine flow Strengthen the immune system The prostate is a walnut sized gland that sits just below the bladder in men and is an integral part of the male reproductive system. Made up of two lobes and enclosed by a layer of tissue, the prostate goes through two main periods of growth. The first occurs early in puberty, when the prostate doubles in size. At around the age of 25, the gland begins to grow again. This second growth phase often results in what is identified as an enlarged prostate. As the prostate gets larger, the layer of tissue surrounding it stops it from expanding, causing the gland to press against the urethra. While the data varies, it is believed that most men over the age of 45 experience some amount of prostate enlargement, but may live symptom free. This enlargement is usually harmless, but it often results in problems urinating later on in life. By 60, it is believed that 80% of all men experience some sort of urinary interference due to prostate enlargement. Enlargement of the Prostate Enlargement of the prostate is not a malignant condition, but it does put pressure on the urethra and can create a number of urinary complaints such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, the need to get up at night to urinate, difficulty starting, a reduction to the force of the urine stream, terminal dribbling, incomplete emptying of the bladder and even the inability to urinate at all. If left unchecked, benign prostatic hypertrophy can cause serious problems over time including urinary tract infections, bladder or kidney damage, bladder stones or incontinence. Enlarged Prostate and Potential Impotency It is important to take care of your prostate and address any prostate, be it an enlarged prostate, prostetitis (inflammation of the prostate) or prostate cancer

Frequent urination during the past weeek?

Posted by admin on Dec 19, 2009 under Prostate Cancer Frequent Urination

for the last week ive been urinating frequently, like every hour 1/2 or 2. Last night I went five times in a span of 3 hours. (Normally i go once every 4-5 hours) Also, i’ll go toilet and urinate then sit back down and its feels like my bladder fills right back up in the time span of 15-30 mins then if feels like I have to urinate again, but it isn’t urgent. i dont feel excessively thirsty, and I haven’t been drinking more water. I haven’t lost or gained any weight recently, do not have any family history of diabities or prostate problems, no pain or cloudy urine.

Frequent urination after sex (male)…?

Posted by admin on Dec 15, 2009 under Prostate Cancer Frequent Urination

After my girl and I have sex, I have to constantly urinate. It almost feels like an enlarged prostate because 30 seconds after I pee and feel like I gotta squeeze more out again. After I take about 2 Advil the feeling of constantly having to urinate goes away. It’s been going on for about 3 months now. My diet is very good and I am very healthy to my knowledge, the only change I have made in the last few months is I started taking Centrum the multi-vitamin but I don’t think that really has any relation to this problem. Anyone ever experience something like that?

The pelvis is wired up really badly. The nerves that serve everything in the region come together before they get to the spine, and sometimes for some people there is crosstalk on the nerves.

The spasm of ejaculation may just be setting off your urinary nerves and giving you that gotta go feeling. As long as it isn’t too bothersome, no worries.

Sometimes it goes totally wacky and men get all sorts of symptoms that are blamed on prostates. Instead, it is from small muscle spasms in the pelvic floor muscles called trigger points. There is a lot about it at chronicprostatitis.com.

Frequent urination/weak stream…..?

Posted by admin on Dec 11, 2009 under Prostate Cancer Frequent Urination

I’m not emptying my bladder when I urinate. I go often, usually 12-15 times per day. When I do go, the stream is very weak. I haven’t had a good strong pee in a long time…for a while this was just a problem in public places like school so i thought maybe it was some kind of anxiety problem but…now it seems to happen when i’m at home too. I’m 17 years old so i knew it couldn’t be enlarged prostate…my doctor check anyway and said everything was fine. Sometimes i have strong urges that if i don’t get up and use the bathroom immediately i’ll go in my pants, which doesn’t make much sense i guess…

You should be tested :in case that you have diabetes:then this happens too
Been a diabetic over 30 years:and this is how i started too.

always thirsty, frequent urination?

Posted by admin on Dec 8, 2009 under Prostate Cancer Frequent Urination

I have checked for diabetes, but the doc said i’m not diabetic. I’m guessing i am thirsty all the time because i urinate so much. I literally have to go after i just went.

I see on TV they suggest its prostate, but i’m only 23, could it be that? Thanx

anyone can have trouble with their prostate, this is not a age thing.

22 year old male with frequent urination with test results negative. What could I have?

Posted by admin on Nov 30, 2009 under Prostate Cancer Frequent Urination

I am a 22-year old male. I have had frequent urination for about 1 month. I have been to the doctor and I do not have a UTI, my kidneys are fine, prostate is fine, and my physical was normal. I would like to know how I can go back to normal function. My symptoms include using the restroom every 3-5 hours, feeling like there is urine in my urethra at times, and increased sensitivity in my genitals. I had severe discomfort in what felt like my bladder for about 8 days and then the discomfort left. I had a CT scan and I do not and did not have kidney stones. No burning during urination and no blood in the urine. No stomach pain. Have slept through the night without urinating for approximately 2 weeks. Diabetes test was negative, but my sugar level was slightly high. Does anyone have any idea what I could possibly have?
I drink anywhere from 40oz to 80oz a day. I’ll have 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning and then drink water the rest of the day. I do not drink alcohol or soda. With dinner I might have 1% milk or crystal light ice tea.
Blood Pressure was 120/60, pulse was 54 bpm, urine is clear most of the time and there is no odor.
Is it possible I have an STD?

Did the doc check your ADH (vasopressin) levels? Was your BP ok? Is your urine clear most of the time?

Other causes of frequent urination: caffeine, alcohol, diabetes insipidus http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/d/diabetes_insipidus/intro.htm

You mentioned your blood sugar was slightly high. Could be pre-diabetes mellitus. Take action… Buy a cheap glucose monitor or borrow a friend’s. Test your fasting blood glusose (BG) levels, then eat a snickers bar and test every 30 minutes until you’ve tested a total of five times. Your BG range (if normal) should look like ~90 to ~140. It should peak around an hour. Hope this helps.

Frequent urination. Sensitivity to wine and tea. Dry & thirsty in the morning.?

Posted by admin on Nov 27, 2009 under Prostate Cancer Frequent Urination

After one of many intense bike rides, I felt a burning sensation in my pelvic area and an excessive urge to urinate. I have experienced these symptoms after periods of vigorous exercise but they always subsided.
(I also have an inguinal hernia that hasn’t been repaired.)
This time, in addition to the burning sensation, I also experienced mild soreness around my hip. I also had a fever for one night only. A few times I experienced mild (kidney?) stones.
I stopped riding the bike, started drinking cranberry juice, and saw palmetto/nettle.
Since then, all symptoms have gone except for the more frequent than usual urination especially after drinking wine &and possibly tea. I never had a problem with wine before.
I also feel drier and more thirsty during or after the night.
My GP ruled out diabetes and didn’t find a UTI, even though I was sure I had one. The prostate seemed fine after a DRE, and the PSA seems OK. I still get up several times at night to urinate. I am 50+.

Sounds like you have urge incontinence from an overactive bladder or previous bladder infection.. I had the same, and still have to wear protection. I visit a urologist often. There are meds for it now, but don’t want to take any more. I am careful not to drink certain fluids that don’t allow me to hold it when I get the desire to go. My PSA is about 6.5 and has been steady. I am 58. I had all the tests including biopsies.

frequent urination at night?

Posted by admin on Nov 23, 2009 under Prostate Cancer Frequent Urination

I’m 17 years old and ive had the problem of frequent urination for a while. This has basically been happening for more than a year. Every once in a while I have to go to the bathroom about every 10 minutes, for about 5 times before falling asleep. This only happens during the night, during the day my bathroom breaks are about 3 hours appart. This has been happening for a pretty long time, but other than that i am very healthy and there are no other symptoms of anything serious. I’ve been to the doctor and he said that it’s a psychological thing, related to stress, cause if it was a urinary infection it would have been happening during the day too and if it was anything serious, it wouldn’t have gone for that long without any pain or other symptoms (and im pretty sure im too young to have prostate problems, im 17). I actually have a fair share of stress, but it’s nothing too big, everything’s manageable. Another thing that suggests that this is psychological is the fact that it doesnt happen every night and it only happens when i sleep in my own house (if im out of town or staying with someone else, im fine). The problem is, the fact that i know that it’s a harmless thing doesnt solve the fact that i have to get up every now and then almost every night, walk to the bathroom, take a leak, walk back, then do it over again in a few minutes. Any ways to treat this? Thanks a lot!
PS: I tried holding it before, it doesn’t really work… also, is there anyway this is a serious condition even though it’s been happening for this long and no other symptoms have surfaced? (and it only happens at night and not everyday, just sometimes)
there’s no pain or discomfort when i pee, btw. It’s just that most of the time the ammount that i pee at night is quite little, much less than when i pee normally.
yeah, i dont really have fatigue…. also does anyone know how to treat this if this is stress related?
also about drinking, what’s the healthy ammount? cause i tried not to one day and i felt a bit dehydrated cause i drank very little that day. also, im gonna try to see a doctor, the problem is it probably wont happen for the next several weeks, that’s why im posting this question.
i take no caffeine btw and i just noticed that when im occupied during the night i dont need to go to the bathroom (ive been sitting on my laptop for past half an hour and i dont need to go to the bathroom, but before i picked up my laptop i needed to go 3 times)

Hmm…In order for one to pee, one has to drink. There for in order for one NOT to pee, one must NOT drink. It isn’t exactly rocket science!

frequent urination?????

Posted by admin on Nov 20, 2009 under Prostate Cancer Frequent Urination

frequent urination?????
Im 21 male and have to frequently urinate , every night i always have to get up atleast once to go. I had a ultra scan for a different problem and it revealed that i had a larger prostate for someone who was 21. What could be the reasons for that?

I usually have to get up once or twice in the night to go to the bathroom. Very seldom can I sleep all night without getting up. I think its quite normal to get up to use the bathroom. The only way to really combat this, is don’t drink anything about two hours before bed time.

Frequent Urination with other symptoms… Whats wrong with me?

Posted by admin on Nov 15, 2009 under Prostate Cancer Frequent Urination

Hi im in need of a little assistance here before I have time to get to the doctor later this week.

Im 21 years old, male, and about 30 pounds overweight. Despite being overweight for most of my life i’ve always maintained very good health. Recently, however, ive began to feel like there may be something wrong.

Within the past 6-8 months ive had random spurts of experiencing frequent urination. Its off and on, and has occurred maybe 10 times in the past 6 months or so. When it comes, it tends to only last for a few days. During this time I get extremely and frequent sensations to go to the bathroom. Going to the bathroom is normal and doesnt hurt or anything, but its just weird to have to go ALL the time. Yesterday, for instance, I did drink a good amount of iced tea for dinner (4-5 full cups) but shortly after dinner I got an extreme and sudden urge to go. I ended up getting that urge 2 other times within the next half hour, and one more about an hour after that.Going to the restroom 4 times within 90 minutes following a meal seems very unusual to me.

I do have a few of the other symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes to go with frequent urination, so im thinking it could potentially be that. Or something related to an enlarged prostate maybe?

Any help or ideas you could provide is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

At your age, it’s probably not type I diabetes, but could be type II (adult onset). Your weight could have contributed to this (I’m a type II diabetic).

It’s entirely characteristic of this that it comes and goes, at least for now.

Why not get your blood sugar checked? Just to make sure? And don’t just do this one time.Perhaps your physician will prescribe a glucometer. It’s really not painful at all to check your sugar once a day. (Some folks area bit apprehensive, but once you get used to it, no big deal at all. It’s almost entirely painless.)

Please, see your physician and get this checked. It’s not a big deal unless you let it go, but if you let it go, the damage is irreversible.

Best of luck!
