Enlarged Prostate can occurs in men over the age of 40 – approximately 45% to 50% of men are affected by Enlarged Prostate at some stage of their lives. The prevalence of Enlarged Prostate increases with age.  5% to 10% of men aged 30 experience Enlarged Prostate;  more than 90% of men over the age of 85 experience Enlarged Prostate. BPH are completely separated from Prostate Cancer.

 BPH can be start in men 
Age 40 up to 9%
Age 60 up to 60%
Age 90 up to 80%

Substances may Cause Enlarged Prostate
– Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
 may increase the risk of Enlarged Prostate.
– Obesity may increase the risk of Enlarged Prostate.
– Protein Kinase C
 (Excessive activity) has been implicated in the development of Enlarged Prostate.
– 5-Alpha Reductase has been implicated in Enlarged Prostate (due to its role as a catalyst for the conversion of Testosterone to.   Dihydrotestosterone – excessive serum Dihydrotestosterone is strongly implicated as a cause of Enlarged Prostate).
– Elevated Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) levels may be a biomarker for Enlarged Prostate.
– Excessive Aromatase activity has been implicated in Enlarged Prostate (Aromatase is known to be present in the Prostate, where it catalyzes the conversion of Testosterone to Estradiol – Estradiol activity in the Prostate stimulates the growth of the Prostate).
– Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) may increase the risk of Enlarged Prostate.
Excess Estradiol hormone levels may increase the risk of Enlarged Prostate.
Excess Estrone hormone levels may increase the risk of Enlarged Prostate.
– Fibroblast Growth Factor is speculated to be involved in the development of Enlarged Prostate.
Excessive Prolactin production may cause Enlarged Prostate.
Exposure to Lead may cause Enlarged Prostate.
– Tobacco smoking may increase the risk of Enlarged Prostate.

Symptoms of Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
– Frequent Urination
– Incontinence
– Male Urinary Hesitancy
– Painful Urination
– Bladder can not empty
– Need to go soon after
– Bladder Stone

– Bleeding
– infection
– Complete inability to urine

Substances may Prevent/Alleviate Enlarged Prostate
– Amino acid (Alanine, Glycine
and Glutamic Acid) may minimize the symptoms of Enlarged Prostate when used in combination therapy.
– Melatonin
– Lycopene
– Omega-3 Fatty Acids
– Lauric Acid
– Beta-Sitosterol
– Zinc
– Selenium

C-Reactive Protein https://drsokhandan.com/c-reactive-protein/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=c-reactive-protein Sun, 11 Oct 2020 06:00:27 +0000 http://drsokhandan.com/?p=2646 C-Reactive Protein

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is an inflammatory marker often checked in blood test to determine level of inflammation in the body. C-Reactive Protein that can be used to predict heart attack risk.  It is produced by the Liver and released in response to acute injury, Bacterial & Viral Infection or other causes of Inflammation that causes increase of CRP. The body releases CRP into the bloodstream when Blood Vessels leading to the Heart are damaged, a common result of Atherosclerosis.  C-Reactive Protein level indicates the degree of Inflammation occurring in the lining of the Arteries. C-Reactive Protein is a biomarker of abnormal Blood Clotting (its presence is indicative of destabilized atherosclerotic plaque that can cause abnormal Blood Clotting). C-Reactive Protein is a biomarker of future Heart Attack risk (its presence is indicative of destabilized atherosclerotic plaque that can cause Heart Attacks).  People with high levels of C-Reactive Protein are three times more likely to die from a future Heart Attack than people with low levels of C-Reactive Protein. The Brains of Alzheimer’s Disease patients contain higher than normal levels of C-Reactive Protein and also patients with Dementia have  higher than normal levels of C-Reactive Protein in there brain.

Toxic Effects of C-Reactive Protein
 Biomarker of Inflammation
Biomarker of future Hypertension risk
biomarker of future Heart Attack
biomarker of Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Biomarker of future Stroke
Biomarker of abnormal Blood Clotting
biomarker of Atherosclerosis
May be a biomarker of (acutePancreatitis
May be a biomarker of future risk of Cataracts
May be a biomarker forAge-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD)
 May be a biomarker for Cancer (Colon and Prostate)
May be a biomarker of Insulin Resistance
May be a biomarker of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
Biomarker of Crohn’s Disease
May be a biomarker of Rheumatic Fever
May be a biomarker of Rheumatoid Arthritis
May be a biomarker of Fractures
