Using Raw Tomatoes to Prevent Prostate Enlargement in Men

Using Tomatoes to Prevent Prostate Enlargement

Prostate enlargement is a problem that is common to men that are over 50 years of age. A man's prostate gland starts to enlarge when he gets to the age of 40. This is  call Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or Prostate Enlargement. The prostate gland serves a fertility function and it surrounds the urethra the tube that carries urine from the bladder and discharges it through the tip of penis. The prostate may press on the urethra as it enlarges causing the urethra to become narrower. Men with prostate enlargement may begin to experience problem with discharging urine due to the narrowing of the urethra.


As the man experiences problem with passing out urine the bladder begins to enlarge to compensate for this problem. This creates another problem as the normal size of the bladder is about the size of a bottle of coke 50 cl + or - 10. The bladder can enlarge up to 300cl. An overfilled bladder may leak and this leads to wetting/ urinary incontinence. Also the enlarge bladder may put extra pressure on the kidney leading to kidney failure or a situation may arise where the man wakes up one day feels pressed to discharge urine but is unable to as a result of prostate enlargement.
