Herbal therapy for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and chronic prostatitis

Abstract

The first mentioning of plant extracts for the treatment of urination disorders in men with prostate disease dates back to the ancient Egypt, namely XV century BC. Currently we know of about 30 kinds of plant extracts which are used in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or chronic prostate inflammation. More than 40 clinical studies have been published which demonstrate the efficacy of herbal medicines for male LUTS.
