6 Days till Thanksgiving: Movember Countdown for Prostate Health

T minus 6 days until Thanksgiving! Many families will be grateful for good health, and although our bodies are not always at their 100% best, there are ways to get support both physically, emotionally and mentally. This Movember, men around the world have been campaigning for various causes related to men's health issues. We at SunJour are also spreading the word about a very common prostate condition in older men medically known as BPH. This is the enlargement of the prostate due to age where men may experience difficulty urinating while at the same time getting frequent urges, especially at night.

As you gather around the giant feast, remember that the bladder can be irritated by alcohol, spicy food, and diuretics like caffeine and tea. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy them every now and then, but if you want to have a worry free Thanksgiving, we recommend keeping the intake of the above food and drink to a minimum to keep your bladder from being overactive, especially for those who have BPH.

BPH awareness is important even if you're not an older man, because the community can support men when they are struggling with symptoms affecting their quality of life. See a doctor to check the severity of symptoms and seek resources to learn more about BPH so you can consider your treatment options in an educated environment.
