Independence Day weekend is coming! While the USA managed to become free from empirical rule, have you managed to find freedom from BPH (prostate enlargement)? BPH is a common condition in older men where the prostate grows larger in size with age. Symptoms include frequent urination (getting up many times day or night to go to the bathroom), slow urinary stream, struggle to start to stop urinary flow, incontinence and urges, dribbling at the end of urination, sensation of urine remaining in the bladder, and if left untreated potential damage to the bladder and kidneys, as well as blockage of the urethra (in other words, your prostate can grow so large so as to block off the path of urine out of the body completely).
You can declare independence from prostate enlargement, and one way is by managing your symptoms. If you have mild BPH, lifestyle modifications such as drinking fluids during the day and less at night, getting physical activities in, a nutritious diet, implementing a complementary treatment for support (such as the one studied in the UMOOZE clinical trial), and getting support from your doctor, family, friends and the men's health community may help.
For the Fourth of July weekend, reduce or avoid caffeinated drinks, spicy food, unhealthy food, and alcohol so as not to aggravate the bladder. Remember, everything in moderation!
Find relief from BPH! No more sleepless nights from getting up to go to the bathroom! Have more energy throughout the day! Don't feel bound to the bathroom! Enjoy the fireworks on TV, in your backyard, or in the distance (while practicing social distancing), and have a relaxing Fourth of July weekend!
