12:20: Nursing homes for people are everywhere but now there’s a new kind of nursing home: One for dogs!

Is this the way of the future or can we do just as good a job ourselves?

Your doctor says that you have an enlarged prostate gland, known medically as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) , or benign prostatic BPH hypertrophy. What should you do about it? Surgery, non-surgical treatment or medicine ? No single treatment choice is best for every man. What you and your doctor decides, depends mostly on the severity of your symptoms and how much your symptoms affect your daily life. There is a variety of effective treatments,and its key to know the pros and cons of each treatment and what is best suited for you. Take the time to review them with your doctor or health care professional . The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the reproductive system. Although scientists do not know all of the prostate's functions, one of its main roles is to squeeze fluid into the urethra. It is common for the prostate gland to become enlarged as a man ages. As a man matures the prostate goes through two main periods of growth, the first occurs around puberty and again around age 25. The second growth phase often results, years later in BPH. More than half of men on their sixties and as many as 90 percent in their seventies and eighties will have symptoms of BPH. One of the main symptoms of BPH is frequent urination, especially at night. After you doctor has taken a complete medical history, he/she will perform several tests. You may be asked on the severity of your symptoms and the impact on your daily life. SawPalmetto has been used by millions of men to ease BPH symptoms, and is often recommended as an alternative to medication. Hilton has recommended Prostate 5LX by New Chapter to promote healthy prostate functions and normalizes urine flow.
