Rainy Summers and BPH in Older Men


Even in the summer, storms and showers are taking place around the world. Is it raining in your area? Are you experiencing frequent urination due to BPH? 

BPH is short for benign prostatic hyperplasia. This is the medical term for prostate enlargement, a common condition in older men. It is usually accompanied by frequent urination especially at night, slow urinary flow, struggle to start and stop urinating, urges, sensation of post voiding residual urine. These symptoms may affect a man's daily life in various ways: less sleep, less energy during the day from lack of sleep, stress, frustration, feeling tied to the nearest bathroom, unable to live in the moment, limitations on trips like long flights and work or social activities, etc.

As the rain flows frequently, so too do men with large prostates feel frequent urinary urges. July is Parks and Recreation Month, and not many people go out to parks in the rain. The benches and park equipment are wet, the ground may be slippery, and being caught in the rain and getting your clothes wet would be a problem. 

But just as the rain gives way for a clear sky with rainbows, so to do men with BPH have hope for managing their symptoms and improving their quality of life. Go to the park when the weather is suitable, practice social distancing and wear a face covering so that you can get your walk in the park. Walking can be beneficial alongside a nutritious diet so that you can prevent aggravating the bladder and BPH symptoms. 

Consider natural, safe, plant based treatment that has been clinically tested like UMOOZE. 

While you're staying home away from the rain, read and share our BPH blog to the public to spread awareness of this men's health condition. Stay safe and strive for better prostate health!
