Prostatitis, or inflammation of the gland, is a common ailment of young men who get urinary tract infections. Unfortunately this condition easily becomes chronic and is difficult to treat. Older men are subject to a different sort of problem, enlargement of the gland, which can interfere with urination. This condition resists treatment because the gland has a poor blood supply, making it hard for the immune system to defend it against infection and making it hard for antibiotics to reach the site. The most important ones are coffee and decaffeinated coffee, other caffeine sources, alcohol, tobacco, and red pepper.
Dehydration is one of the great stresses on the prostate.
Keep your urinary output high and never let yourself get dehydrated. Also avoid prolonged sitting. Once symptoms subside, cut the dose in half and continue on this supplement indefinitely. Adjust your frequency of ejaculation. Both too much and too little encourage prostatitis.
