Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — also called prostate gland enlargement — is a common condition as men get older. An enlarged prostate gland can cause uncomfortable urinary symptoms, such as blocking the flow of urine out of the bladder. It can also cause bladder, urinary tract, or kidney problems.
Do exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. Limit how much caffeine and alcohol you take in; they make you pee more and can irritate your bladder. Lower the amount of fluids you drink, especially before you go out or go to bed.
