According to Medscape, in 2019 approximately 30 million men globally had BPH. That's about the population of Texas, USA. Although the world population is over 7.5 billion, 30 million men is not a small number. Big or small, the fact of the matter is that men are likely to develop BPH as they age. In case you're wondering, BPH is benign prostatic hyperplasia. It's the medical term for an enlarged Prostate. When the prostate grows larger, it may inhibit Urinary Flow and increase urinary urges. BPH can interfere with sleeping habits, daily activities and even sexual activity with a partner.

Why should the world care about BPH? There are at least 30 million reasons. Better sleep, better sexual life, and overall better quality of life are what men with BPH are striving for. 

Frequent urination (dysuria), frequent urination at night (nocturia), slow urinary flow, incontinence, urges and hesitancy, sensation of remaining urine, kidney and bladder issues, and more may occur when a man develops BPH. 

Ignoring BPH is not the answer. You'll be looking for the nearest bathroom, losing out on a good night's rest, having issues in the bedroom, and feel uncomfortable when you try to relieve yourself. This is not a good way to live. It also shouldn't take the worsening of symptoms to push yourself to manage your BPH. If you can manage your prostate health, you can feel relief and a sense of freedom!
