User Reviews for saw palmetto

I am 36 and since I was 20, I was having problems about urinating. Once I read some academic articles and I learned it could have been helpful for my hairloss. Those days I used to have hair and I am not sure if it really helped but I remember there was a slight improvement on my skin and hair. Yet, perhaps my beard growing slower or my muscles were not improving well but I was not so sure. However, I had quit long time ago and now I am almost bald but my urinating condition worsened. There have been times lately I was spending 5 minutes to pee and lately I had a problem with my left testicle where there was a pain over 9 months now. Doctors could not find anything on ultrasound and prescribed some dangerous antibiotic which I did not wanna use. One of the doctors helped me on internet said that, I have problems about urinating as flowmeter test result was so bad and I better use an alpha blocker rather than another medicine or antibiotic. I later remembered saw palmetto was causing me to urinate like a race horse when I used it. For a reason I do not know, it was causing a slight pain on my left testicle too when I was using it. However, I have decided to use it again to at least cure my bad urinating flow and have come to write here it really works for that purpose. Now I do not wait that long in the toilet and I feel like I am able to empty my bladder to a greater degree so I do not have to go to toilette more often. My visits to toilette during sleep reduced too. Sometimes I am only doing it when I wake up. Yet, it has been only 3 weeks I have started using it again. I am always skeptical about this as it might hinder my muscle growth, I also fear it might cause infertility in the future but there are studies showing it actually increases testesterone while reducing DHT and this should not cause any problem for a man unlike other medicines lowering both DHT and testesterone. Finally, I recommend you if you have any problem about urinating. This stuff definitely works but I do not know how.Read More Read Less

It has only mildly reduced the desire to urinate. But the relaxing affect on the prostate has given back to me the after urination sense of satisfaction and the feeling of completeness that comes with an empty bladder. I do not seem to have any retention and the PPP (pre-pee pain) has completely gone.

Enlarged prostate. Blocked seamen duct. Fixed after 2 doses. Amazing. I've been living in pain for 1\2 my life. 1 operation and all. I guess my doctorS didn't do there job. Very pleased. 5000mg. dose in morning

dribbling

did not work

For about year I started waking up 2, or 3 times per night, then 4 and on rare occasions 5 times in night for urination. Then I read about saw Palmetto, started taking sawson saw palmetto 540 mg, one pill per day, about three months past. Also I make one cup of saw palmetto tea (just before bed) with the cheap Budda teas. Within one week I was sleeping all night, but it is strange, now I wake almost every night, once to urinate. Then here on webmd I found, and am now reading about Pygeum bark and Stinging nettle root. Will update as time passes... Read More Read Less

I was told that I would repeat the TURP procedure at 8 to 10 year intervals.I began saw palmetto as recommended and am now 22 years and have no problems.

causing frequent urination

Before I started the treatment I had to get up quite a few times in the night to go to the toilet; this had been getting worse over quite a while and it was obviously disturbing my sleep badly. I researched self help about prostrate problems about 6 weeks ago and read about Saw Palmetto; since then I've been taking 4 x 450mg capsules daily of a Saw P. supplement and have noticed a definite improvement as I now only need to get up once.

only get up once a night, as long i i have no liquids for an hour before bedtime and i urinate just vefore i go to bed

Other meds were causing skin growths. I decided to try SP to escape that, and found it increased urine flow to acceptable level. I've been taking 1000mg for 3 years with no side effects or difficulty. My male German Shepherd was suffering from penile bleeding, and my vet advised it was a prostate problem which could only be cured by neutering. That was 2 years ago. My dog has been getting 1000mg of Saw Palmetto since then and has suffered no further problems.

I am a middle age female with thinning hair. I have take 480 mg daily of super saw palmetto extract (not the whole herb) daily for 2 months. I have had new growth and my hair stylist confirmed new growth in the areas outside of where I could see. I have experienced no side effects. I am very pleased with the results. The drop down menu did not show the brand I used. I used Nature's Own Super Saw Palmetto Extract. I purchased it from Amazon.

Noticed improvement after only a couple of days. 900mg in the morning and 900mg in the evening. I used to get up at night to urinate about 3 times, usually before I fell asleep, now once or not at all. Stream is better as well. I use the Spring Valley brand capsule at Walmart.

UP TO NOW THE SIGNS LOOK PROMISING

I had a bit of slight incontinence, which I ascribed to possible prostate enlargement. I've been suffering with this condition for nearly a year now, wrapping after each urination with toilet paper to catch the few remaining drips. I started using "Sundown" Saw Palmetto extract and itt has really helped me. This is not a commercial review merely the facts as I have experienced them. There is a lot of negative hype about this extract, but that is irrelevant if it works, and it did for me.

gives some relief with urine stream

First of all the stated dousing in this article is ridiculous. Bottle based directions show 4 to 5 pills per day at 450mg each. Massively larger then the big pharma studies that are all contrived to fail from the start. Im at 7200mg per day and no negative effect and I would rate my symptoms in the 5 to 6 range. It is quite disturbing see this kind of bias in this kind of web site for people that are seeking health information.

So far it's the treatment (along with my prescription) for my enlarged prostrate. Symptoms vary daily.
