What is BPH?<\/h2>\n

When a man reaches the age of 25, his prostate begins to grow.<\/span> This natural growth is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and is the most common cause of an enlarged prostate.<\/span><\/p>\n

BPH is a benign condition that does not lead to prostate cancer, although the two problems can coexist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although 50% to 60% of men with BPH never develop symptoms, others find that BPH can make day-to-day life difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n

BPH symptoms include:<\/h2>\n

\n
• Weak urine.<\/span><\/li>\n
• Interruption.<\/span><\/li>\n
• Sense of urgency.<\/span><\/li>\n
• Leaks and drips.<\/span><\/li>\n
• Incomplete emptying sensation.<\/span><\/li>\n
• Frequent urination, especially at night.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  The good news is that treatments are constantly being improved.<\/span> Patients and their doctors now have more medications to choose from, so if one isn’t working properly, another can be prescribed.<\/span> And thanks to technological advances, surgical treatments are more effective and have fewer side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

  Tips to relieve BPH symptoms:<\/h2>\n

  \n
  • Reduce stress by exercising regularly and practicing relaxation techniques such as meditation.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Take your time to completely empty your bladder when going to the bathroom.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Avoid drinking liquids at night, especially caffeinated and alcoholic beverages. Both can affect the bladder\u2019s muscle tone and stimulate the kidneys to produce urine, leading to nighttime urination.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    When symptoms are not particularly bothersome, regular monitoring is necessary to ensure that there are no complications.<\/span><\/p>\n

    For the most concerning symptoms, most doctors start by recommending a combination of lifestyle changes and medication.<\/span> This will often be enough to relieve the worst symptoms and prevent the need for surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n
