Recreation for Men With BPH

July is Parks and Recreation Month. How do men with BPH enjoy their recreation time? Some men may enjoy golf. Others may enjoy a jog in the park. Others may prefer relaxing at home. If you have BPH, you may have trouble enjoying the things you used to. BPH is the medical term for prostate enlargement and is the acronym for benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is a common condition in older men where the prostate grows larger and can potentially interfere with urinary health. This means men may feel urges to go to the bathroom, experience frequent urination, and not to mention, slow urinary flow, where it is difficult to start or stop pushing out urine. 

This may have hindered men from going out with the buddies before the pandemic, travel on a long flight, or have a long night's rest with their partner. BPH can be a disruptive force. However, managing mild BPH could be as simple as living a healthy lifestyle. In a current pandemic world, we have to practice social distancing and other safety precautions if we decide to go to public areas like parks and other recreational spots. Men with BPH, provided that they follow these public safety guidelines, can still enjoy their time at the park or other form of a safe, healthy recreational activity. 

Managing fluid intake and practicing pelvic floor exercises, double voiding techniques, and safe heat therapy to promote blood circulation may also support men who experience BPH. 

This weekend, you want to relax, and parks are here to offer some relaxation in body and mind. It is nice to get some fresh air and enjoy the greenery of parks provided we do our part to keep the community safe during the pandemic.

What are your plans for this weekend? Are you taking care of your BPH? If you are looking for support in your nutrition, you may consider a clinically tested therapy like UMOOZE to serve as a complement to your current healthy lifestyle plan. 

Have a wonderful weekend!
