My partner seems to have many symptoms of an enlarged prostate but would like to know if you can buy Saw palmetto. He would like to try this herbal remedy before seeing his GP.

The herb Saw Palmetto may be of benefit for many of the problems associated with BPH such as getting up in the night to go to the toilet, a poor or weak flow of urine, dribbling etc.

However, if your partner has any of these symptoms it would be a good idea for him to get checked out by the GP. A diagnosis is necessary before taking a licensed Saw palmetto product.

Our Doctor's Information Pack giving you all that you need to know about this herb, can be downloaded, and taken to the doctor to help start a discussion about his symptoms.

If the symptoms are due to something else like an infection, Saw Palmetto won't work.
