Prostate Health Tips - What Can You Do To Reduce Night Time Bathroom Trips?

July 3, 2012 - PRLog -- The Sad Fact is That Once You Hit Your 40's Dealing with Prostate Issues is A Reality. I recently discovered that by modifying my diet (for weight loss) nightly trips to the bathroom decreased.

I researched the topic and was surprised to discover that reducing weight was high on the list of strategies to handle benign prostate enlargement.

The function of the prostate is to secrete a slightly acidic fluid, milky or white in appearance, that usually constitutes 20–30% of the volume of the semen along with spermatozoa and seminal vesicle fluid.

Semen is made alkaline overall with the secretions from the other contributing glands, including, at least, the seminal vesicle fluid . The alkalinity of semen helps neutralize the acidity of the vaginal tract, prolonging the lifespan of sperm.

The alkalinization of semen is primarily accomplished through secretion from the seminal vesicles.The prostatic fluid is expelled in the first ejaculate fractions, together with most of the spermatozoa. In comparison with the few spermatozoa expelled together with mainly seminal vesicular fluid, those expelled in prostatic fluid have better motility, longer survival and better protection of the genetic material (DNA). The prostate also contains some smooth muscles that help expel semen during ejaculation.

The prostate gland continues to grow during most of a man’s life, with accelerated growth periods during adolescence and from around age 50. Prostate enlargement usually causes problems only later in life, as it compresses the urethra more tightly, impeding urination – some symptoms of BPH will affect over 50% of men in their 60s, growing to 90% of those aged 70 and 80. Treatment for BPH seeks to reduce the symptoms, as the condition cannot be cured.
