Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and the Destructive Effects of Vibration

Question

I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia ten months ago, after undergoing standard urological evaluation and prostate diagnostics. I consulted several physicians, including specialists in conventional urology, but over time it became clear to me that real medical help would only be offered once the condition reached a critical stage, meaning surgery, which is often considered inevitable in advanced benign prostatic hyperplasia. A course of medication that was supposed to slow the progression of BPH produced no positive results and caused noticeable side effects typical of pharmacological treatment. Meanwhile, my prostate continues to enlarge, which clearly indicates ongoing prostate enlargement associated with hyperplasia.

At the initial examination, prostate volume was measured at 29 cubic centimeters. Seven months later, a follow-up TRUS showed an increase of 8 cubic centimeters, confirming the continued growth of prostate tissue. I have no harmful habits, I do not drink or smoke, and I work as a professional driver, meaning my daily work involves prolonged sitting and constant vibration exposure. I am highly motivated to recover. Is it possible to reverse benign prostatic hyperplasia using your method “Without Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia”, which is presented as a natural approach to prostate health restoration?

Answer

In previous articles, focused on the causes of prostate diseases and non-drug treatment strategies, I have repeatedly emphasized an important principle: once benign enlargement of the prostate is diagnosed, treatment should not begin without identifying the specific factors that triggered its development. These provoking factors must not only be recognized but also eliminated from daily life. Otherwise, any therapy—especially medication-based treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia—will remain superficial and temporary.

In your case, one significant factor is already clearly identified. Your occupation as a driver involves prolonged exposure to mechanical vibration, chronic vibration load, and extended periods of sitting, all of which have a direct and damaging impact on prostate health. For men with BPH, long-term vibration exposure is not a neutral condition but an active aggravating factor that accelerates the progression of prostate hyperplasia.

Examples of Vibration Exposure

Understanding complex biological processes often becomes easier through comparison, particularly when analyzing the effects of vibration on the human body. For this reason, I will give several examples that demonstrate how mechanical vibration affects physical structures and internal environments. At first glance, these examples may appear unrelated to the human body or to diseases such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, but the underlying principles are the same. In many cases, insight into a medical problem emerges from processes that seem far removed from human physiology.

During the production of concrete and reinforced concrete products, a liquid mixture of cement, water, sand, and gravel is poured into molds. This mixture initially contains a large amount of trapped air. To increase strength and durability, the air must be removed. This is achieved by placing the mold on a vibrating platform or using an internal vibrator that generates intensive vibration. As vibration begins, air bubbles rise and escape, and the material becomes denser and more compact, clearly illustrating the structural effects of vibration.

A simpler illustration is a sealed bottle of sparkling wine. If it is shaken vigorously and then opened immediately, gas escapes violently and uncontrollably. The vibration forces dissolved gases to move outward, disrupting internal equilibrium.

Physiological Basis of Vibration-Related Damage in Prostate Disorders

A similar phenomenon occurs in the human body when it is subjected to full or partial vibration, especially during prolonged occupational exposure. Under the influence of harmful mechanical oscillations, the levels of gases essential for proper physiological functioning—namely carbon dioxide and oxygen—decrease within the circulatory system and do not recover for a long time if the exposure lasts for hours, which negatively affects prostate blood circulation. Breathing amplitude becomes weakened in such circumstances (especially in a seated position). Due to reduced gas exchange, blood vessels constrict, meaning their internal diameter decreases throughout the body, impairing microcirculation in the pelvic organs. This leads to spasms—sometimes mild, sometimes severe—which inevitably cause numerous complications, including congestive processes in the prostate. If such exposure is cyclical and prolonged, it provokes not only disorders of the genitourinary system, including the growth of prostate hyperplasia, but also a general weakening of the entire organism.

Now let us return directly to your situation. Spending long hours behind the wheel exposes you to continuous vibration produced by the engine, by shaking during movement, and by irregularities in the road surface, all of which worsen the course of BPH. Your occupation consistently fuels the progression of non-malignant prostate enlargement, and no matter how diligently you adhere to a healthy lifestyle, principles of disease prevention, and prostate care, your efforts, unfortunately, will be rendered ineffective, because after hours dedicated to improving your health, prolonged vibration cancels out all of your conscientious work. Consider the possibility of changing your occupation as one of the preventive measures against further prostate enlargement. I am fully aware that making such a decision is far from simple—especially in adulthood. However, health is the most valuable asset any person possesses, particularly when addressing the possibility of non-surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia. This may sound like a familiar truth, but it remains fundamental. The final decision is yours.
