The Ides of Movember: Prostates and BPH

Movember is halfway over, so we are still going strong to spread awareness of BPH! BPH stands for benign prostatic hyperplasia, and it's an enlargement of the prostate that naturally occurs in older men. In some men, symptoms of urinary discomfort and increased frequency are present. When they go to their doctors and get the diagnosis, some are recommended to do watchful waiting to see how the symptoms progress after lifestyle management. If the condition worsens, medication and even surgery could be involved. However, as a preventative measure to avoid medication with side effects and surgery with post-op complications, men will adjust their lifestyle to healthier diets and increased physical activity. In addition, some men may try supplements or natural therapies that are plant based, safe, and clinically proven to be effective like UMOOZE!

Men want to stop having a lower quality of life with sleep deprivation and frustration over BPH. Getting up many times a night to go to the bathroom and the discomfort from not having a smooth stream are the terrible sides of BPH. In the worst case scenario your urethra gets completely blocked and you are unable to pee, which constitutes a medical emergency. In addition, your kidney health may be compromised by BPH, too.

Protect your prostate to reduce the negative effects of prostate enlargement! Spread the word about BPH awareness and offer support to you and the men in your life!
