Frank Murray delves into the prostate & its potential for problems. Although prostate cancer is the third most common cancer in the United States, there is an admitted lack of clinical data available on the topic. Murray has managed to unearth valuable research material on every conceivable aspect of the prostate. How to Prevent Prostate Problems defines exactly what the prostate is & how it is vulnerable to such diseases as benign prostatic hyperplasia, cancer, & prostatitis, & then gives tips on how to prevent, or, if thats not an option, correctly diagnose & discuss what treatments there are. As there are no magic bullets, this can be tricky, so both you & your doctor need to thoroughly understand the choices for treating these maladies. To illustrate some of the methods available, Murray has included case histories of men whose various prostate conditions have been successfully treated in different ways. Vitamins, minerals, herbs, & other supplements to help counter prostate irregularities are each given a comprehensive section, as are environmental hazards. The specter of vasectomies possibly causing prostate cancer is also discussed. The back of the book contains an excellent glossary of terms, a list of helpful resources, & an index. ...
