In the heat of summer, many people would like to either stay cool at home, or hit the parks and beaches. Of course, we need to practice social distancing when going outside so that we can safely enjoy the outdoors. If you're a man experiencing BPH (prostate enlargement), you may be in the mood to go outside and kick the good old ball around with some buddies, but your mind may be focused on your bladder.
BPH, which is short for benign prostatic hyperplasia, is a common condition that occurs in men who are reaching their 40s or older, where the prostate gland grows in size and may be associated with uncomfortable urinary symptoms. These include frequent urination (day and night), slow urinary flow, struggle to start and stop urination, urges, incontinence, and sensation of urine after voiding. When all you can think about is where the nearest bathroom is, it may deter you from going out with friends and family.

We have about four days left of July, which is Parks and Recreation month (you may be thinking of the comedy show, but we actually mean your local and national parks). As July comes to a close, we want to know if you've been taking care of your prostate health. It's not a fun topic for men, and men may avoid seeing their doctor, but it's very important to be able to manage your BPH if you've been diagnosed. A lot of the prostate health symptoms are similar across the board, so seeing your doctor is important.
Imagine a man with BPH losing a good night's rest because he had to get up many times a night to go to the bathroom. Imagine a man with BPH not going out with his buddies to play ball because he was focused on where the nearest bathrooms are. Imagine a man with BPH too tired to even go out because he lost sleep from those nightly bathroom trips. BPH can lower a man's quality of life, and men who are living longer and growing older deserve relief!
If you or someone you know has had these symptoms or has been diagnosed with BPH, especially in the mild stages, know that relief is out there! Practicing healthy lifestyle habits such as eating well and getting physical activity (like at the park), is a good place to start. If you are open to natural solutions, something like UMOOZE may be worth considering. It was clinically tested on men with BPH compared to a placebo, and showed promising results.
Enjoy your day, and if you go to the park, remember to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen and practice social distancing and good hygiene!
