I am sorry to hear you have had this diagnosis. Saw Palmetto is a really good natural remedy that can be used to calm the urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Extracts of Saw Palmetto berries are found in Prostasan so you could give this a try. These tablets only need to be taken once a day which is really handy.
Other than this, you may want to think about how your diet can influence your symptoms. There are a few particular nutrients that could help ease symptoms, whilst others could actually make things worse.
Vitamin C, zinc and vitamin D are definitely ones to get more of - there is a lot of research out there to suggest they could have a beneficial effect on enlarged prostate symptoms. On the other hand, caffeine, alcohol, processed foods (which lack nutrients), sugary foods and even spices have been shown to be problematic for sufferers of this condition.
