Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) is a disease that affects both men and women. Experts recommend that patients with overactive bladder syndrome should quit smoking, lose weight, avoid alcohol, caffeine, and acidic foods as much as possible, and use medications and other treatment strategies.
There is evidence that pumpkin seeds, especially the oil contained in them, may help treat overactive bladder syndrome. According to a review published in the international academic journal Food Reviews International in 2019, it was found that certain compounds (phytosterols), a natural oil contained in pumpkin seeds, can be effective in treating overactive bladder syndrome.
Pumpkin seeds also have many other nutritional benefits. The Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, USA, selected pumpkin seeds as a good source of iron, an essential nutrient that helps the immune system. He also highly recommended pumpkin seeds as a good source of magnesium, an essential mineral that strengthens bones, muscles, and nerves.
Pumpkin seeds may also help men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, a condition associated with overactive bladder. There are also quite a few clinical trial (randomized, placebo-controlled) results showing that pumpkin seed extract may be helpful in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. Research results published in the journal Clinical Phytoscience in 2022 showed that patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia could help improve symptoms if they consumed pumpkin seed extract (500 mg) twice a day.
Nutrition experts said, “You can consume the beneficial ingredients in pumpkin seeds by grinding them or eating them whole, but if you eat whole pumpkin seeds, you can additionally consume dietary fiber and various nutrients.”
The recommended daily intake of pumpkin seeds is about 1/4 cup (30g). If your special case is a child, it is best to start at this level. The complete nutrition contained in the seeds is generally more effective and safer than pumpkin seed oil supplements.
The professional magazine Country Living magazine introduced the method of roasting pumpkin seeds as follows. Place pumpkin seeds and pulp in a large bowl of water and stir. The seeds float to the top and the pulp sinks to the bottom. Carefully transfer the seeds to a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet. Pat the seeds dry. Add oil and light seasoning to the seeds and roast until crispy, about 15 minutes.
