Urination Problems

Urination problems, known as lower urinary tract symptoms, include a weak stream, urgency, frequent trips and waking at night, and in men they often come from an enlarged prostate squeezing the urethra. The evidence looks strongest for beta-sitosterol and moderate for saw palmetto, though little research on them has been reviewed here so far. Both are used for prostate enlargement, so they may matter less for women, whose causes often differ.
