CONCLUSION
High protein diet is good for muscle and strength but proteins can be problematic for the filtration system (kidney). As proteins can block the narrow lumens and they can slow down filtration. Specially in males who have more sitting work and low water intake they can have issues with high protein. It starts with increased URIC acid levels and leads to prostatitis and difficulty in micturition. This article gives you detailed knowledge about the prostate gland, its shape and position, its use and the diseases related to it. Also the herbs and herbal remedies are explained . As we know that the prostate allows urethra to pass through it so inflammation or obstruction can cause difficulty in passing urine it can be very painful and uncomfortable, in modern science we have a solution for this that is surgical removal of prostate gland.

Our vedic science has herbal solutions for these problems as well , proper dietetics and medication can easily manage the problems and help in reversing the condition gradually.
