Wisest thing to do would be to go to a doctor and check that the problem is benign and not something more serious.If it is found to be benign then there might be some natural remedies that can help.

* Pygeum – Pygeum bark extract has been proven in numerous studies dating to the 1970’s to be effective at significantly reduce the number of nighttime urinary episodes, urinary hesitancy, urinary frequency, and pain with urination in men who experience mild-to-moderate symptoms.
* Beta Sisterol – a relative newcomer, beta sisterol is considered several times more potent than Saw Palmetto at shrinking enlarged prostate and relieving BPH symptoms. Found in both supplement form and seafood.
* Pumpkin Seed Extract – an antinflammatory, anti-oxidant and diuretic, pumpkin seed extract promotes prostate health in men and bladder support in women. May also enhance sexual performance in men. The German Commission E (similar to the US FDA) recommends pumpkin seeds for treating urinary and prostate conditions, backed by many studies.
* Kohki leaf- Unlike other compounds, Kohki actually prevents the adverse changes in the bladder that often accompany prostate problems. Kohki comes from a subtropical plant that grows wild in southern China. It has been used medicinally in East Asia for hundreds of years and is sold over the counter today in Japan as a medicinal tea. It contains strong antioxidants, including several dihydroflavonol glycosides, which have been shown to have a significant protective effect on bladder function.
* Nettle root – the extract made from the root of this medicinal plant helps prevent or relieve reduced urinary bladder capacity, urinary outflow, and residual urine flow. It is well documented and recognized, especially in Europe, to relieve symptoms of BPH. Make sure you use nettle root and not nettle leaf (which is commonly used for arthritis).
* Lycopene – found abundantly in tomatoes, lycopene is a member of the family of phytochemicals known as carotenoids and is a powerful antioxidant that protects against cellular damage. Researchers have linked the frequent use of lycopene from tomatoes to a lower risk of prostate and other cancers.
* Selenium – is a powerful antioxidant found in tuna, Brazil nuts, and sunflower seeds which helps repair damage in the body and protects against prostate cancer.
* Vitamin E – is a major antioxidant nutrient that helps maintain healthy membranes and retards cellular aging due to oxidation. It is especially important to sexual and reproductive health. Studies have linked Vitamin E to lower incidence of prostate cancer.
* Grapeseed Extract – contains proanthocyanidins, potent antioxidants that may lower the risk of cancer. In a recent study, grape seed extract was used to inhibit cell growth in human cancerous prostate cells. The results suggest that grape seed antioxidant proanthocyanidins may exert a strong anticarcinogenic effect against prostate cancer by inhibiting abnormal cell growth and promoting tumor cell death.
* Resveratrol – Found in red wines, dark grapes, and cocoa (dark would be the best choice), reseveratrol is a powerful anti-oxidant which recent studies have linked to prostate health and prevention of prostate cancer.
* Pomegranate – rich in anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories and one of the most potent commonly available healthy juices, pomegranate fights against cellular damage and against prostate cancer. Numerous studies have shown that it help protect against prostate and other cancers, slows prostate cancer, and helps prevent the return of prostate cancer once it has been beaten.
* Iodine – Lack of iodine in the diet has been linked with the development of hormonal cancers including iodine. Iodine supplementation, on the other hand, is effective at helping ward off and beat cancer.
* Vitamin B6 – helps control inflammation of the bladder. Along with zinc, Vitamin B6 regulates the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT (dihydrotestosterone) and helps the body resist a hormonal action that can cause swelling of the prostate. Vitamin B6 also helps negate the adverse effects when prolactin levels increase, especially in men 40 and older. Too much prolactin can contribute to the development of prostate tumors.
* Zinc – works with Vitamin B6 (see above) and appears to play an important role in prostate health.

The Natural Remedies listed below-in conjunction with medical care and used with the approval of your doctor-may help prevent a prostate problem or lessen its symptoms, according to some health professionals.

Ayurveda: First, see a medical professional to find out what’s causing the problem, says Vasant Lad, B.A.M.S., M.A.Sc., director of the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico. If the cause is benign, following remedy can be useful for self-treatment, according to Dr. Lad: mix equal amounts of punarnava, gokshura and shilajit, which are herbal powders available in most health food stores, Dr. Lad says to take 1/4 teaspoon of this mixture twice daily, either dry or mixed with a little warm water.

Or buy horsetail, ginseng or hibiscus tea, Dr. Lad says ( these tea are available in most health food stores). Drink any one or more of these teas daily, an frequently as you wish.

Food Therapy:
"Eat more pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and other foods high in zinc," advises Allen Magaziner, D.O., a nutritional medicine specialist and head of the Magaziner Medical Center in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. "Zinc has been shown to have a beneficial effect in shrinking an enlarged prostate."

Vitamin and Mineral Therapy:
"Take a 15- to 30-milligram supplement of zinc each day," says Allan Magaziner, D.O. "It’s also good to get more essential fatty acid, such as those in flaxseed oil, which help prevent inflammation and swelling of the prostate." Dr. Magaziner recommends taking up to two teaspoon of flaxseed oil a day; if it’s in capsule form, he says to follow the dosage recommendations on the label (about three capsules equals one teaspoon of the liquid). Both forms of flaxseed oil are available in most health food stores.

A person with prostate problems may want to use the following vitamin, mineral and herbal regimen to help control or reverse the disease, suggest David Edelberg, M.D. an internist and medical director of the American Holistic Center/Chicago: 400 international units of vitamin E a day; 30 milligrams of zinc twice a day; 1 milligram of copper twice a day; one tablespoon of flaxseed oil a day; and 160 milligrams of saw palmetto twice a day. Saw palmetto is also available in most health food stores.
