What is BPH? While Listening to Prostate Beach

Did you know there's a song called Prostate Beach? Although the lyrics don't mention the prostate, this catchy tune was last seen as the background music for a BPH video post! Flashing on the screen is facts about what BPH is, including the incidence rate among older men aged 45-74, risk factors like aging and being overweight, and symptoms like frequent urination and problems emptying the bladder. BPH or benign prostatic hyperplasia can affect men as they get older, but even if you're not old or a man, you can be proactive about learning more of this condition in support of men's health. Knowledge is power!

Some men might be afraid of going on medication or surgery, and if symptoms are mild and manageable with other means like lifestyle changes, active surveillance and natural plant based alternatives, you may not have to worry. Or, if you have severe symptoms, you should discuss the best course of action with your doctor because your mileage may vary with a combination of all of the above. 

You want to go to the beach without your prostate dictating your trip, don't you? Frequent bathroom trips while on your well deserved vacation doesn't sound like fun, so get educated on BPH and prostate health so you too can sing to the tune of a happy prostate at the beach!
