Prostate health affects bladder health as we age.

As men age, maintaining bladder health becomes increasingly important. The bladder is essential for storing and eliminating urine, but aging can bring challenges like urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, or prostate-related issues. Enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) is particularly common, potentially leading to urinary obstruction and discomfort. To preserve bladder health, men should stay hydrated, maintain a healthy weight, and avoid bladder irritants like caffeine and alcohol. Regular exercise and pelvic floor strengthening can also help. Importantly, routine check-ups with a healthcare provider ensure early detection of problems. Proactive care supports not only bladder function but overall quality of life.
