Prostate Cancer Therapy

each vegetable capsule contains:beta-sitosterol 68 mg. (from 150 mg of a phytosterol complex)vitamin C (as ascorbyl palmitate) 20 mg. (hypo-allergenic plant fiber added to complete capsule volume requirement)1?2 capsules per day, in divided doses, with meals.Supports prostate health*Beta-sitosterol naturally occurs as part of a phytosterol complex and has demonstrated the potential to support prostate health. In a 6-month randomized, double-blind, placebo- controlled, multicenter study with 200 male subjects, it was proposed that a mixed phytosterol complex providing beta-sitosterol supported healthy urinary flow. In an 18- month follow-up trial, beta-sitosterol maintained healthy urinary function. These results have been supported in other clinical trials as well.Beta-sitosterol, derived from a soy-based phytosterol complex, may provide important support for prostate health.REFERENCE: Awad AB, Fink CS, Williams H, Kim U.

I have been checked for diabetes and I have no infections of any kind according to blood and urine samples yet I am going very frequently. I don’t have kidney stones either. My doctor says he is not worried about it, but something is causing me to go more than normal. I’m only 32 so prostate should be out of the question. Any suggestions?

Urinating too much liquid ("polyurea") needs to be distinguished from the slightly different symptoms of excessively frequent urination, urinary dribbling, or unusual urgency to urinate. Urinating too much fluid or urinating too often can indicate several serious medical conditions. Some possibilities include urinary tract infections, bladder conditions (e.g. interstitial cystitis), or prostate conditions (e.g. BPH). Also possible are metabolic conditions such as Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, or diabetes insipidus. Seek prompt professional medical advice about urination symptoms

These are just a few diseases or infectios that could cause your problems. You did not say if you was drinking water excessively. If so maybe Diabetes Insipidus. Not related to diabetes….

“Patients’ choices in terms of what therapy to have for prostate cancer really are based on their individual situation and their acceptance of certain risks or benefits from that treatment.” Drs. Tewari (leader in prostate cancer research and surgery) and Schlegel (Department Chairman) of Cornell Urology discuss “treatment choices” in the context of patient profile and the acceptance of certain risks. They emphasize the importance of having all the right knowledge and being an informed prostate cancer patient when facing prostate cancer treatment decisions. Prostate cancer requires you to get through all the physician bias and make informed decisions in partnership with your prostate cancer doctor.
