BPH is a common (and frustrating) condition. It affects almost 50% of men by age 60. As you get older, your prostate can become enlarged, pressing on your urethra and on part of your bladder . It doesn’t mean you have prostate cancer or that you’ll get prostate cancer in the future. But it can sometimes cause problems, like bladder or kidney damage, and incontinence . If you have benign prostatic hyperplasia ( BPH ), you know the routine. You get out of bed in the middle of the night with an urgent need to pee, you stand over the toilet ... and nothing. All that comes out is a dribble. You still feel like you have to go. It may even be painful. And, the worst of it is, you’ll be back to the bathroom again before the night is over.

Go with the Flow

There are medications that can treat BPH, and if it becomes unmanageable, surgery can be an option. There are also exercises and stress management techniques you can practice on your own to help manage BPH and bring your urinary problem under control. Keep yourself active. Lack of physical activity can make you retain urine. Activities like walking, jogging, and swimming can help reduce urinary problems. Do Kegel exercises. Stand at or sit on the toilet and contract the muscle that allows you to stop and start the flow of pee. Hold it for 5 to 10 seconds. Do this 5 to 15 times, 3 to 5 times a day to help with bladder control and function. Meditate. Nervousness and tension cause some men to urinate more often. Try meditation along with exercise to help reduce stress. Try double voiding. When you do urinate, go once and then try to go again a few moments later. This will help you to fully empty your bladder, lessen the feeling of constantly having to pee, and maybe save you another trip to the bathroom.

Early Signs of Prostate Cancer There are no warning signs of early prostate cancer. You can’t feel the growing tumor pushing against anything else, so there’s no pain. You can have the disease for years and not know it. That’s why regular prostate cancer screenings are so important. Symptoms of Prostate Cancer Once a tumor causes your prostate gland to swell, or once cancer spreads beyond your prostate, you may have symptoms including: The need to pee often, especially at night

Trouble starting or stopping a stream of urine

A weak stream or one that starts and stops

Leaking pee when you laugh or cough

Not being able to pee standing up

Pain or burning when you pee

Pain or burning when you ejaculate

Less fluid when you ejaculate

Blood in your pee or semen

Pressure or pain in your rectum

Pain or stiffness in your lower back, hips, pelvis, or thighs
