Botox for the Prostate

A quick administration of Botox to the prostate could help treat an enlarged prostate, a condition referred to as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH affects more than 50% of men over 60 and a staggering 90% of men over 80, making it difficult to urinate. Surgery is required in some cases.

Though the treatment is still in the testing stage, results have so far been successful for its participants. Botox has been able to reduce or limit the number of prostate cells dramatically by cell death so that it is no longer dangerously enlarged. The risk of cancer has also been reduced.
