Physical disability, such as spinal code injuries or multiple sclerosis, often lead to sexual dysfunctions. Under these health conditions the last thing you want is sexual dysfunction as a result of prostate disorders.

Prostate disorders affect, not just elderly men but also common in middle-aged men. Half of men between the age of 40-59 years old have enlarged prostates. Out of this most will develop clinically significant disease and one fourth of 50-years old have some cancerous cells in their prostate.

Most common prostate disorders are 1) non cancerous enlargement of prostate 2) the most frequent male malignancy - cancer 3) inflammatory infection called prostatitis. Prostate disorders often affect urination because the gland surrounds the urethra that drains the bladder.

Testosterone declines after age 40 and a testosterone variant called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and the female-associated hormone estrogen increases. DHT stimulate cell growth and this will lead to prostate enlargement.

Food and Nutrient Supplement:

Prostate dysfunction has been called a nutritional disease. It is much more common in developed Western countries that emphasize animal-derived foods, such as red meat, dairy products, and eggs, all foods that tend to accumulate environmental toxins. In contrast, fruit- and vegetable-rich diets exert a protective effect.

Growing evidence suggest that milk may be bad for the prostate. The culprit appears to be calcium in the milk. Excessive calcium intake, regardless of the source, apparently suppresses the synthesis of a form of vitamin D that inhibits prostate cancer.

Studies have also shown it is less likely to get prostate cancer if men consume tomatoes or tomato-based foods, pink grapefruit and guavas. This is because a powerful antioxidant agent called lycopene from these foods.

Another prostate protecting food is the sugar in the fruit, known as fructose. It helps stimulate the production of a form of vitamin D that slows down the tumors.

Prostate glands uses zinc, more than any other body part, and lack of it affects the prostate. Pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc.

Intake of selenium rich foods or supplements has been shown to reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Nutritional supplements contain vitamin D and E, garlic, sulfur containing compounds and soy-based foods may inhibit prostate cancer.
