.Painkillers May Be Good for the Prostate

[metta]

Taking over-the-counter painkillers such as aspirin and ibuprofen might help men avoid prostate problems.

"Our data suggest if men are taking these [medications] for another problem, it might prevent urological problems as well," said Jennifer St. Sauver, an epidemiologist at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota who led a study that found that men who took nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) daily had a reduction of about 50 percent in enlargement of the prostate gland. The condition, called benign prostatic hyperplasia, affects many men after age 40.

However, men who take NSAIDs need to keep in mind that, if taken in excess, the drugs can cause kidney ailments and other problems, Singer warned. And too much acetaminophen has been associated with liver toxicity.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns that extended use of NSAIDs can increase the chances of a fatal heart attack or stroke and also can cause ulcers or excessive bleeding in the stomach and intestines.

and also can cause ulcers or excessive bleeding in the stomach and intestines.

and this is what almost took my father's life about 2 years ago. He thought it would be safer than getting addicted to the prescription narcotics.

If I hadn't been there he'd be six feet under right now.

ummm..i don't think there was conclusive evidence to support that claim.. I'm just sayin...

It's more like an ALEVE a day will allow you to play -- or something like that --
I think after 60 - all bets are off -- shit happens.. boners don't.

Actually, exercising your prostate as regularly as possible is the best way of keeping it healthy.

Use it or lose it.
