Question : I HAVE been suffering from non-bacterial prostatitis for more than 10 years. The early symptom was a urinary tract infection. Lately, chronic prostatitis has developed. I get a painful, burning sensation after urination. The pain now is almost constant, whether I urinate or not.
My urine flow is good and I urinate normally at night. I cannot take foods such as eggs, prawns and belacan at all, I get infected the next day. The antibiotics do not help me much and I experience pain after sexual intercourse. I suspect that my prostatitis is related to my gastric problem, this has been rejected by my doctor.Answer : Non-bacterial prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland with no known cause. There are many theories about the cause of non-bacterial prostatitis -- fungi, viruses, trichomonads and obligate anaerobic bacteria have been suspected.
Irritation caused by a reflux of urine flowing into the prostate may also be a cause. Pressure of the prostate against the urethra is the main cause of the urinary problems associated with the prostate. Treatment for non-bacterial prostatitis is difficult and aimed at treating the symptoms. Many patients are treated with long-term antibiotics to ensure that bacteria are not the cause of their prostatitis. However, taking long-term antibiotics will destroy the friendly bacteria in the intestine and result in chronic prostatitis.
Repeated infections increase the risk of prostate cancer. Prostate enlargement and cancer are both linked to hormonal changes that occur as men get older. To manage your problem, try taking Saw Palmetto. It is effective in altering the hormone levels by increasing the breakdown and excretion of DHT that is responsible for the multiplication of prostate cells. Pumpkin Seed is a rich source of essential fatty acid, zinc and plant sterols.
Zinc is essential for general growth and proper development of the reproductive organs and for normal functioning of the prostate gland. The omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids possess anti- inflammatory and anti-allergy properties, which are beneficial in the treatment of inflammatory disorders such as prostatitis. Clinical studies have shown that friendly bacteria from the family groups -- lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and streptococcus -- to be beneficial for improving digestive health, rebalancing gut microflora and modulating immune functions. Eat plenty of organically grown leafy vegetables, whole grains, raw wheat germ, freshly squeezed juices, soy beans, soy bean products, nuts and seeds. Avoid hydrogenated fats from processed foods like margarine and vegetable shortening.
Avoid or limit the intake of meat, sugar, white flour and dairy products, fatty foods, caffeine and alcohol..

The natural laws of the universe are so precise that we have no difficulty building a spaceship to the moon and can time the flight with the precision of a fraction of a second."Obviously, he possessed a tremendous understanding of the laws of the universe and he understood just how consistent and precise those laws are. One of those laws is the Law of Attraction and it is through this law that we will attract to ourselves the people, the ideas and the things we need in order to achieve our goals.In order to understand...
