PROSTATE HEALTH VITAMINS

Prostate health vitamins are essential for men, especially those, over the age of forty. Not to say that younger men are not at risk of developing prostate problems. The main reason, for using prostate health vitamins, is to prevent benign prostatic hyperplasia, which if not kept at bay, can lead to cancer. Prostate cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in men. More than 300,000 new cases are reported each year, just in the US. More than 40,000 men die each year from this problem.

New England Research Institutes, Watertown, MA, USA, and Mater Misericordiae Hospital and University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.

To assess, using the psychometrically validated Male Sexual Health Questionnaire (MSHQ), the prevalence of ejaculatory dysfunction (EjD) and bother due to EjD in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and to assess predictors of EjD in this population.

In all, 5999 sexually active men with LUTS completed the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) which rates LUTS severity, and the MSHQ long-form, which evaluates seven EjD symptoms and bother due to EjD. Concomitant intake of medical treatments for BPH and previous BPH-related surgery were collected. The impact of treatments on EjD was compared to a control group (i.e. no previous BPH-related surgery and no medical treatment for BPH). The relationship between EjD, bother due to EjD and selected clinical characteristics was analysed using multiple regression analysis.
