Prostate Health and Lifestyle Factors: What You Need to Know
Prostate health is an important issue for men to consider as they age. The prostate gland is a small walnut-sized organ located just below the bladder and in front of the rectum. It plays a crucial role in reproductive health by producing and secreting a fluid that helps protect and nourish sperm. However, the prostate gland can also be the source of health problems, particularly prostate cancer, which affects 1 in 8 men in the United States. In this blog, we will discuss what men need to know about prostate health and lifestyle factors.

When to Consider TURP for BPH
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition that affects many men as they age, causing urinary symptoms such as frequent urination and weak urine flow. While medication is often the first line of treatment, some men may require surgery to alleviate their symptoms. One such surgical option is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). However, not all men with BPH need TURP, and it is important to consider factors such as symptom severity, prostate size, and prior treatment history when deciding on a treatment plan. In this blog, we will explore when it is appropriate to consider TURP as a treatment for BPH.

While there are various treatment options available for BPH, many men seek natural remedies to manage their symptoms. In this blog, we’ll explore some natural remedies for BPH symptoms and discuss what works and what doesn’t.
