Five Days Until Father's Day: Prostate Enlargement

As you search the internet for a nice Father's Day gift for the men in your life who are fathers, have you noticed that June is Men's Health Month? Men's Health Month seeks to raise awareness to the public about promoting men's health and learning more about men's health issues which include mental health struggles, physical complications that occur more often in men compared to women, as well as anatomy specific conditions in penile, prostatic and testicular health. 

Our blog aims to spread awareness of BPH year-round, but Men's Health Month is a great time to spread our message to you in light of the upcoming Father's Day celebration. BPH is short for benign prostatic hyperplasia, a common condition in older men where the prostate enlarges and interferes with urinary and sexual function. You know those large prostate jokes about men going to the bathroom constantly? That's a BPH reference. But BPH is no joke! It can cause problems if left untreated, and if you live long, you may encounter it as well. You can give your partner, brother, father, grandfather, uncle, son, nephew, friend, or acquaintance the gift of health. One way is through knowledge. Bringing up prostates is not exactly fun, but neither is living with frequent urination, loss of sleep from going to the bathroom often, taking longer in the bathroom, and not feeling like yourself. 

We can push for better quality of life in men! We can share clinical data like the trial of UMOOZE to support men with BPH. We can encourage further study of BPH and safe treatments for men with mild BPH. We can encourage men to get a health check with the doctor instead of avoiding it. 

Sure, a new tie, a fountain pen, or a new golf club might be a fun gift, but the gift of health support for men who may develop or already have BPH has the best value in our book!
