Learning About the Prostate Gland
The prostate is a gland that's best described as the size of a chestnut. It is also only a male organ, and it is located under the bladder surrounding the urethra, the passageway that takes the urine to the outside. The gland produces seminal fluid, which is mixed with sperm to make semen.
With getting older, the gland might begin to grow, this happens to most men. The growth of the gland may eventually cause problems with urination, because the gland pinches off the urethra as it enlarges in its size. This most often occurs in men over the age of 60. Up to 30 percent of men over there 60s have benign prostate gland. One of the main roles the prostate functions is to squeeze fluid into the urethra as sperm move through during sexual climax. This fluid, which helps make up semen, energizes the sperm and makes the vaginal canal less acidic.

As a man ages and matures, the prostate goes through two main periods of growth. It first occurs early in puberty, when the prostate doubles in size. At around the age 25, the gland begins to grow again. This second growth phase often results, years later, in Benign prostate.
During most of a man's life the prostate continues to grow, the enlargement doesn't usually cause problems until later in life. But more than half of men as many as 90 percent have symptoms of benign prostate gland somewhere after there forties.
When the prostate keeps enlarging, the layer of tissue surrounding it stops it from expanding, causing the gland to press against the urethra like a clamp. The bladder wall then becomes thicker and irritable. It starts to contract even when it contains small amounts of urine, causing more frequent urination. Eventually, the bladder starts to weaken and it loses the ability to empty itself, so some of the urine remains in the bladder.
Some of the symptoms of prostate gland enlargement are weak urine stream, difficulty starting urination, stopping and straining while urinating, frequent need to urinate, increased frequency of urination at night, urgent need to urinate, not being able to completely empty the bladder, blood in urine, and urinary tract infection.

In some cares sudden total blockage of urine occurs. It is very distressing and you need emergency treatment to drain the bladder, it occurs in less than 1 in 100 men with and enlarged prostate each year. It is more common if you have fairly troublesome symptoms already. However, in some cases, it can develop out of no where in a man who has not before had any prostate related symptoms.
Something that will help you with Benign prostate gland, is trying Saw Palmetto. This is taken from the berries of the saw palmetto tree and is used in the treatment of benign enlargement of the prostate gland, but that is not all there are many more benefits that it does also.

Aside from Cranberry, D-Mannose is very beneficial for Urinary Tract health and either or both of those can help keep the Urinary Tract healthy, which can help prevent UTIs. If you've had it for a while or you haven't been able to get rid of it, you may have to use antibiotics to just kill all the bacteria down there, but starting with one or both of those would be good to keep them away. Also, whenever you take an antibiotic regimen, make sure you take some probiotics to replenish the beneficial bacteria that the antibiotics kill off so the infections don't keep coming back and to help keep you regular.
Good luck and I hope I helped!

I use oil of oregano gelcaps--works wonders. The cran juice is preventive--it doesn't help once the bacteria take hold in the bladder. So use (watered down) all the time, but take several oregano caps at the first sign of any infection or discomfort.
