Dads around the world are being recognized for the love and support they give to their children, but are we supporting dads where it counts? June is Men's Health Awareness month, a time to educate the public about men's health issues so they can prevent problems down the line, alleviate problems they may already have, and live long and happy. How can you solve a problem you don't know about? That's why Men's Health Awareness gives the tools for men's support.
The men's health issue we like to focus on is prostate enlargement, known medically as BPH. As a man gets older, his prostate grows in size naturally. Because the prostate is under the bladder and surrounds the urethra, the development of BPH could interfere with urinary health. This translates to getting up a lot go to the bathroom, interrupting yourself and your partner’s sleep, and planning your life around the porcelain throne. This can impact your day to day energy, work flow, and ability to enjoy activities like golfing, fishing, road trips, travels, and more.
Not enough men are going to the doctor even for a health check, but once the symptoms become unbearable, by the time they have gone to the doctor the BPH may have progressed to moderate or severe stages. Catching it earlier can make a difference in the management of symptoms. But in order to catch it early, you need to be aware that such a condition (BPH) even exists. This is where Men’s Health Month and our BPH awareness campaign comes in!
This father’s day, you may have purchased a #1 Dad mug, a golf club, a fountain pen, or a classic car, but on top of that, you can also give him the gift of health by supporting his health journey and spreading awareness to the public about BPH!
