Nettle leaf may be an effective treatment for certain conditions of the prostate, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, a swelling of the prostate gland. While more research is needed in this area, a clinical trial of 287 people with BPH found significant reductions in the size of their enlarged prostate after they were treated with nettle leaf. Consult with a homeopathic Dr for dosing/duration.

This treatment is unproven for helping prostate enlargement so I recommend against it. At 31yrs you are far removed from prostate enlargement. Drink water, pee when you get the urge and lead a healthy lifestyle. You will be fine.
