Do Saw Palmetto Supplements Help In The Treatment Of Prostate Enlargement?
Does saw palmetto help the prostate in any way other than possibly reducing the lining swelling ? I had a portion of my prostate burnt away with ultrasound three months ago because of cancerous cells. I m wondering if the saw palmetto pills can help the rest of the gland ?

Hi,
Many people claim health benefits of saw palmetto. It’s a herbal supplement and available scientific studies do not support claims that saw palmetto can prevent or treat prostate related problems.
It is always better to take proper treatment rather than going behind alternatives to prevent unwanted complications.
Consult a urologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
