Aspirin 'blocks prostate problem'

Aspirin and other similar painkillers may halve the risk of developing an enlarged prostate, research suggests. The condition, known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, can make urination difficult or trigger a need to urinate frequently. Minnesota's Mayo Clinic found Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) cut men's risk, but did not recommend all men took the medication. The study appeared in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
