Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Saw palmetto is commonly used by men to improve symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), such as difficulty initiating urination, weak urine flow, and incomplete bladder emptying. Therefore, a decrease in difficulty initiating urination would indicate that the product is helpful. A decrease in the frequency of headaches (A) or the ability to fall asleep quickly (C) are not typically associated with the use of saw palmetto. While less burning and pain with urination (B) may suggest an improvement in urinary tract symptoms, this is not necessarily specific to the use of saw palmetto and may also be indicative of other treatments.
