This is not medical advice. Always consult a licensed healthcare professional before starting or changing any treatment. Information here is based on personal experiences and may not apply to everyone.

Pygeum africanum is a plant extract used as an alternative therapy for BPH. It may help reduce urinary frequency, nighttime urination, and improve urine flow by decreasing prostate inflammation. The evidence supporting its benefits is modest and not as strong as prescription medications like alpha-blockers or 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. Most men tolerate it well, though mild digestive side effects can occur.
