A member asked:
Are there any natural cures for enlarged prostates?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Some people find benefit from herbal medications that typically contain saw palmetto. More often than not, it doesn't help as much as prescription drugs do though.

Yes: The national institutes of health states saw palmetto is of comparable effectiveness to the drug proscar, (finasteride) but has less side effects. Pygeum is also very effective. Beta-sitosterol, stinging nettle, lycopene & grass pollen are also proven to help. Zinc is essential for prostate health & prevents enlargement.
