Has Pumpkin seed oil a role in treatment for benign prostate hypertrophy?

Pumpkin seed oil has shown promising results as an alternative therapy for benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH). BPH is a common condition where the prostate becomes enlarged. This can be extremely painful and block the flow of urine.

A studyTrusted with BPH (Benign prostatic hyperplasia) found that pumpkin seed oil may act as an effective alternative medicine with no adverse reactions. Participants in the study saw an improvement in symptoms, including better urinary flow.

The participants saw a drastic improvement in their overactive bladder symptoms, including wetting themselves at night.

As for the effect on heart health:

It is known to provide phytosterols. Because phytosterols are structurally similar to the body’s cholesterol, when they are consumed, they compete with cholesterol for absorption in the digestive system. As a result, cholesterol absorption is blocked, and blood cholesterol levels reduced. For this reason, some people consume pumpkin seed oil to lower cholesterol and boost heart health.
