Saw palmetto has been introduced in the market as a herb that treats those with BPH or Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy. The symptom for this includes problems with urination that affects one’s overall quality of life. It has also been considered to be of some help to many other illnesses or diseases. Aside from BPH, saw palmetto has been shown to have some positive effects with those having an under-active bladder, chronic pelvic pain syndrome and hair loss. There are even more claims of saw palmetto’s healing wonders but have not been conclusively shown through formal medical studies.
Like any other medicine, saw palmetto can have side effects when it’s overuse. The side effects though are found to occur very rarely and of minor types. These side effects are usually associated with the stomach & intestines. There have also been complaints on allergies, decline in sexual desire and tender breasts.
If one should experience any of these side effects or any other condition that may have resulted with one’s intake of saw palmetto – stop the use of it and refer your condition to your doctor.
