Is red wine bad for those who have BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia)?

Hi elmo. I just did a ‘quick review’ of the medical literature on this issue on Pubmed/Medline. Several medical studies suggest a slight decreased risk of BPH in men who consume alcohol on a regular basis. Based on these studies it is not likely that red wine will help (serve as treatment) but a glass of red wine with dinner probably does no harm.

Hope this is helpful for you. Best wishes.

    I really don’t see why it would be…the alcohol and the chemicals in red wine shouldn’t do anything to make the enlargement worse…definitely something to research further…
