The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that surrounds the urethra at the base of a man's bladder. It is responsible for creating seminal fluid to carry sperm during release, and plays an important role in urinary health as well as fertility. Most men live in blissful ignorance of their prostate gland until a health issue occurs. Lack of male organ-specific vitamins, poor immune function, hormone imbalances and lifestyle choices all effect the health of the prostate, and eventually, the health of a man's intimate life. If something goes wrong with the prostate gland, often male function and impotence are soon to follow. Knowing this now may help some men to prevent problems in the future. Prostate Disease There are a variety of diseases that can affect the prostate and increasing the risk of male dysfunction. In many cases, it is the medical treatment for the disease that interferes with a man's performance and not the disease itself. Benign prostate growth (BPH), prostatitis and prostate cancer are all very common in men. Prostate cancer iscurrently second only to lung cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths in North America. 30,000 men die from prostate cancer each year in the U.S., and those who survive are often badly affected by the medical treatment of prostate cancer. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy and prostate surgery may all cause male dysfunction and impotence in men. Supporting circulation, improving antioxidant-status, and using neuroprotective agents such as alpha-lipoic acid and L-carnitine are all important in protecting male organ health during these treatments. Activity Scientists have been debating about the effects of frequent pleasurable activity on the health of the prostate for decades. While popular opinion is that frequent release is beneficial for the prostate, there is still some evidence to the contrary. University of Nottingham Medical School in the U.K. published a study in BJU International in 2009 that showed frequent pleasuring activity in young men led to an increased risk of prostate cancer. In men over the age of 50 frequent self pleasuring activity had the opposite effect by decreasing the risk of prostate cancer. Some studies have supported these findings, while others have contradicted them entirely. Most doctors and researchers agree on one thing though -- STI's and STD's of the male organ do contribute to male organ health issues. Steps to Protect Male Organs Vitamins such as Vitamin C and E are both known to support organ health by balancing nitric oxide levels in the smooth muscles of the male organ, and they also offer antioxidant protection to the nerves and blood vessels. Zinc is found in high quantities in the seminal fluid, offering immune protection from infections. Vitamin A is another nutrient that has shown to benefit the immune system and reduce the risk of cancers. Essential fatty acids, such as those found in pumpkin seeds, linseeds and fish, are useful for promoting microcirculation to the male organ and reduce the symptoms of prostate growths. L-Carnitine, L-arginine and alpha-lipoic acid have also shown in some studies to be effective in reducing impotence and promoting strong male performance. Health Crèmes Health crèmes that are scientifically formulated products designed to support the tissues and the health of the male organ can benefit male organ health. Using proven ingredients, health crèmes are applied topically to the male organ so that the active ingredients are absorbed directly into the local tissues and directly into the male organ blood stream. Specialist formulations (most professionals recommend Man1Man Oil) contain vitamin C, E, A, alpha lipoic acid, L-carnitine and L-arginine to give complete protection and support for microcirculation, nerve sensitivity, and skin cell integrity. Health crèmes may also offer benefit to the health of the prostate gland, as the antioxidants and natural oils may prevent cancerous cell changes, and have a beneficial effect on male hormone balance.
