Tips to relieve Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia symptoms
Four simple steps can help relieve some of the symptoms of BPH:
Some men who are nervous and tense urinate more frequently. Reduce stress by exercising regularly and practicing relaxation techniques such as meditation.
When you go to the bathroom, take the time to empty your bladder completely. This will reduce the need for subsequent trips to the toilet.
Talk with your doctor about all prescription and over-the-counter medications you're taking; some may contribute to the problem. Your doctor may be able to adjust dosages or change your schedule for taking these drugs, or he or she may prescribe different medications that cause fewer urinary problems.
Avoid drinking fluids in the evening, particularly caffeinated and alcoholic beverages. Both can affect the muscle tone of the bladder and stimulate the kidneys to produce urine, leading to nighttime urination.
