American studies have found that eating about 50 grams of pumpkin seeds every day can effectively prevent and treat prostate diseases. This is because the hormone secretion function of the prostate depends on fatty acids, and pumpkin seeds are rich in fatty acids, which can keep the prostate functioning well. The active ingredients contained can eliminate the swelling in the early stage of prostatitis, and also have the effect of preventing prostate cancer. However, some stubborn patients have no effect because their prostate hyperplasia is too serious, which is more than 12 times larger than ordinary glands. It is suggested that surgical cutting is better to avoid prostate cancer.
