Research progress in pollen preparation for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia

Abstract

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the common urinary system diseases in middle-aged and elderly men, which seriously affects the health and quality of life of patients. At present, the pathogenesis of BPH is still unclear, which critically affects the effective treatment of BPH. In recent years, more and more animal experiments and clinical trials have shown that pollen preparations have a significant inhibitory effect on BPH. In this paper, the pathogenesis of BPH and the related researches on the treatment of BPH by pollen preparations were reviewed, and the effective components of pollen preparations were analyzed, so as to discover the mechanism of BPH inhibition by pollen preparations and finally achieve the purpose of comprehensive utilization. Key words: Pollen; Plant preparations; Benign prostatic hyperplasia; Pathogenesis; Mechanism
