Q-Urol- Help for Chronic Prostatitis and Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome

Q-Urol is a nutritional supplement formulated to treat Chronic Prostatitis and Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes, a persistent state of inflammation in the prostate gland.

Advantages of Q-Urol:

• 68% more potent than Prosta Q
  
• Time Release Formula
  
• Activated Quercetin Complex 
  
• Contains Bee Pollen and Pumpkin Seed
  

Q-Urol Complex is a proprietary combination of clinically proven ingredients including Quercetin, a bioflavonoid with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, Saw Palmetto, Bee Pollen extract, Pumpkin Seed, Bromelain and Papain, to aid digestion, as well as some minerals (zinc and minerals).

Q-Urol has been rigorously tested using the highest medical standard and is one of the most effective treatments for Chronic Prostatitis. Randomized placebo-controlled trials evaluating quercetin saw palmetto and bee pollen extract, have shown that these treatments are independently superior to placebo. Pumpkin seeds and zinc have been reported to benefit patients with prostate problems, although the evidence is not as strong. Q-Urol combines all these compounds and therefore the patient can benefit from all these treatments in a single tablet.

What is Chronic Nonbacterial Prostatitis? 

Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis or inflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrome is the inflammation of the prostate not due to bacterial infection. It refers to a condition affecting patients who present symptoms of prostatitis without a positive result after urine culture or expressed prostate secretion (EPS) culture.

Nonbacterial prostatitis is typically a chronic, painful disease. The symptoms characteristically go away and then come back without warning. The urine and fluid from the prostate show no evidence of a known infecting organism, but the semen and other fluids from the prostate contain cells that the body usually produces to fight infection.

Treatment with antibiotics and drugs that relax the muscles of the prostate gland is often tried and commonly fails. It is the least understood type of prostatitis and hardest to treat. This form of prostatitis is the most common. It is believed to occur eight times more often than bacterial prostatitis. It occurs in association with other diseases such as Reiter syndrome (arthritis, conjunctivitis [eye inflammation] and inflammation of the genital and urinary systems).

Causes of Chronic Nonbacterial Prostatitis & Risk Factors 

Unfortunately, little is known about what causes chronic nonbacterial prostatitis or inflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrome. However, health professionals believe the possible causes include:

• Blocked urine flow
  
• Abnormal movement of urine and prostate secretions into the prostate
  
• Microorganisms that may infect the prostate (if they are present, they usually are not detectable in the urine)
  
• The immune system attacking the prostate (autoimmune disease)
  
• Chemicals normally found in the urine, such as uric acid, which may get into the prostate and cause irritation
  
• Abnormal nerve or muscle function

Symptoms of Chronic Nonbacterial Prostatitis 

The syndrome usually affects men between 18 and 50 years old. Its symptoms are the most common urologic problem in men younger than 50 years and the third most common urologic problem in older men. Recent studies using the NIH Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) found the prevalence of prostatitis symptoms to be approximately 10% in a population of men aged 20-74 years. The symptoms may be constant, or they may come and go.

The common symptoms associated with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis include:

• Frequent urge to urinate (especially at night)
  
• Pain or burning sensation during urination
  
• Difficulty urinating
  
• Decreased urine stream and caliber
  
• Pain or vague discomfort during or after ejaculation.
  
• Pain with bowel movements
  
• Blood in the urine
  
• Blood in the semen
  
• Pain or discomfort in: Perineal, Suprapubic, Scrotal, Low back, Urethral, Tip of penis

Anatomy & Function of Chronic Nonbacterial Prostatitis 

The prostate is part of the male reproductive system. It is a walnut-sized and shaped gland located below the bladder and in front of the rectum and surrounds the urethra (a tube-like structure that carries urine form the bladder out through the penis).

In this syndrome, men have the symptoms of prostate infection but do not have any evidence of a bacterial infection. Some researchers argue that the organism chlamydia is responsible, but this is very controversial. The symptoms are probably caused by spasms of the sphincter muscles of the bladder and the pelvic floor. This may also increase the pressure in the urethra, which forces urine down into the prostate.

Diagnosis of Chronic Nonbacterial Prostatitis 

A physical exam is not usually enough to make the diagnosis. But often it reveals that the anal sphincter, prostate, and groin muscles are tight.

A diagnosis of nonbacterial prostatitis usually is made after repeated unsuccessful attempts to treat what is presumed to be bacterial prostatitis. Although microscopic examination of prostate massage specimens may show increased numbers of white blood cells, ultimately, no definite source of infection can be identified. Urine and prostatic fluid routinely fail to show the presence of any infecting organisms. Often the diagnosis is made only after various unsuccessful drug treatments, numerous doctors' visits and considerable expense.

Occasionally, doctors will diagnose patients whose nonbacterial prostatitis develops from a lack of sexual activity. This so-called "congestive prostatitis" is thought to be the result of a lack of ejaculation. When semen stays too long in the prostate and causes inflammation.

A converse diagnosis of "exhaustive prostatitis" or "overuse prostatitis" may be made in men whose nonbacterial protatitis symptoms appear to be caused by excessive ejaculation. In both cases, a sexual history is essential to accurate diagnosis, and modification of sexual activity usually is prescribed.

Chronic Nonbacterial Prostatitis Facts 

• Many patients respond to treatment while others are not relieved despite multiple treatment attempts.
  
• Symptoms often recur after treatment and may eventually not be treatable.
  
• Unresolved symptoms of nonbacterial prostatitis may cause significant changes in lifestyle and emotional well-being related to sexual and urinary problems.
  
• Once symptoms are gone there is no need for further monitoring. The man should contact a healthcare provider if symptoms persist or return.

About Farr Laboratories, LLC

In 1999, Farr Laboratories, LLC and leading Academic Urologists at the Institute for Male Urology began working together to develop a safe, effective and natural way to help prevent the symptoms and pain from Non-Bacterial Chronic Prostatitis, Interstitial Cystitis, and Vulvodynia.

These astounding results are published in prestigious medical journals such as Techniques in Urology, Urology, as well as Urology Times. All of these publications plus presentations at major medical conferences such as the annual AUA (American Urological Association) meetings have brought international recognition to our products.

Academic Urologists from major medical institutions worldwide have conducted studies on our products Prosta-Q and Cysta-Q, which contain bioflavonoids and other natural ingredients that demonstrated significant improvements in subjects of peer reviewed, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials for the symptoms of Non-Bacterial Chronic Prostatitis and Interstitial Cystitis as well as Vulvodynia.

Over time we have expanded our product line to include Q-Urol.

Q-Urol is an advanced formula, extra-strength, time-release version of Prosta-Q with the addition of Bee Pollen and Pumpkin Seed.
