The prostate gland is an organ in reproductive anatomy. This small gland sits directly below the bladder and plays a role in producing and fine-tuning semen. Changes in the prostate gland can lead to urinary problems. Prostate problems are common, especially in older men. The most common include an inflamed prostate, an enlarged prostate. Symptoms of prostate trouble often appear as difficulty urinating, which might include poor bladder control or weak urine flow. Prostate conditions often cause problems with urination or bladder control. It may include the following: poor bladder control, including frequent bathroom visits *urinary urgency, sometimes with only a small amount of urine *difficulty starting the urine stream, or stopping and starting *the stream while urinating *a weak or thin urine stream Some of the top 5 homeopathic remedies are: 1) Chimaphilla umbellata: This remedy is often helpful when the prostate is enlarged, with urine retention and frequent urging. The person may have the feeling that a ball is lodged in the pelvic floor, or experience pressure, swelling, and soreness that are worse when sitting down. 2) Sabal serrulata: A frequent urge to urinate at night, with difficulty passing urine, and a feeling of coldness in the sexual organs, suggest a need for this remedy. It is sometimes also used in lower potencies for urinary incontinence in older men. This remedy is made from saw palmetto which is also used as an herbal extract for similar prostate problems. 3) Staphysagria: This remedy may be indicated if a man feels burning pain in his urinary passage even when urine is not flowing, and urine retention is troublesome. Men who are likely to respond to Staphysagria are often sentimental and romantic, and may also have problems with impotence (most often caused by shyness). 4) Lycopodium: This remedy may be helpful if urine is slow to emerge, with pressure felt in the prostate both during and after urination. The prostate is enlarged, and impotence may also be a problem. People who need this remedy often suffer from digestive problems with gas and bloating, and have an energy slump in the late afternoon. 5) Clematis: This remedy is often indicated when swelling of the prostate seems to have narrowed or tightened the urinary passage. Urine usually emerges slowly, in drops instead of a stream, with dribbling afterward.
