Using gravity to control Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?

The paper above describes how BPH occurs.

Basically, valves inside a vertical vein (called ISV) get damaged.
There are two effects:
1) When the ISV is normal, each valve in the vein takes up a little bit of press
ure. When the valves are damaged, the full pressure of the weight of the blood in
the ISV is applied to the prostate gland that is at the bottom of the ISV.
This local high blood pressure inside the prostate gland causes it to increase in size.

2) Due to the problem above, a hormone called FT produced by the testes, pools in
the prostate instead of flowing through the ISV vein to the rest of the body. The FT hormone is a growth

hormone for the prostate. The high local FT hormone level causes the prostate
to grow.

Regarding item (2), it may help if one can reverse the effect of gravity a few times a day.

Performing the Bridge exercise (http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/strengthtraining/qt/bridge-exercise.htm)

or lying on a sloping bed with the feet side of the bed elevated can produce this effect.

In other words, raise the lower torso above the level of the heart, to "drain the ISV vein".

If the extra hormone can be drained out of the prostate gland by this reversed gravity, prostate growth could be reduced.

Thanks.
