In the 1800s and early 1900s Men had BPH though they did treat it, but how?
Posted , 10 users are following.
Even around the ww1 and ww2 men had BPH but they must have treated it successfully. Many died of old age. Winston Churchill how did he treat it? It just makes you wonder with all the medications and treatments now days. Many men lived to a ripe old age with a prostate enlargement problems. And in Third World countries or other countries like China it's treated differently then in the west. Just makes you wonder?

Did you ever see "The World's Fastest Indian" with Anthony Hopkins? Sometimes men just suffered.

I read couple of articles that say that marijuana or canabis oil can help relieve the symptoms of B PH or even shrink an enlarged prostate. Has anyone heard anything along those lines?

I've not heard that but it does help with so many things. It has become very popular in the UK and a big health food chain has started to stock it and started with a half price offer.. Miriam who posts on the dangers cipro and flouroquinolones says that it can help with some of their side effects.

I have seen various views expressed by others. Some Natural Supplements are still being suggested on you-tube. However one has to be very cautious/ selective to try any of these supplements. One likes to know the experience of some one who benefited from any of these before using it himself. Some one on this Forum had expressed good results from Quercetin+Bromelain & flower pollen but he could not clarify about its possible side effects on kidneys, urine retention etc.

I went round a surgical museum where they had catheters and instruments used in the 17th. century. It may have worked but how many survived the later infections?
It turned out that the curator like me was an early UK GL success story.

Johnny,
Here is a interesting article about the history of urinary catheters:
[b]https://www.urotoday.com/urinary-catheters-home/history-of-urinary-catheters[b].html
My grandfather always took a milk carton to bed with him in the 1950s, to reduce trips to the bathroom. He only lived until 68 like many people in those days, so he didn't have to suffer with it too many years.
