I've heard that a lot of guys do nothing about it as the treatment is worse than living with the condition.
I hope to never face that decision.
Good luck man.
I've been taking Saw Palmetto for about seven or eight years, might help, might not - nobody knows for sure. Might even help slow hair loss and stimulate hair growth, it did for me.

As for saw palmetto, it does not increase your risk of prostate cancer. It decreases it. And if your body doesn't need it, it will do no harm. If you do choose to use a supplement, please understand that you need to be careful of the brand. As I explain below, most brands on the market are close to worthless because they use the inactive form of the plant.

Prostate Cancer Risk Factors

All men are at risk for developing prostate cancer. About 1 man in 7 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime, but only 1 man in 39 will die of this disease. About 80 percent of men who reach age 80 have prostate cancer cells in their prostate. Besides being male, there are other factors, such as age, race, and family history that may contribute to the risk.

From what little I know of the subject, just about all men older than 50 have prostate cancer cells in their prostate. Living a healthy lifestyle (
exercise and diet) helps your body maintain a truce of sorts with the cancer growth rate.
