Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in men over the age of 50.
This condition is characterized by an increase in the volume of the prostate, leading to difficulty urinating and a frequent urge to go to the toilet. At the Sioufi Urology Clinic, we focus on preventing this disease through a healthy lifestyle.
A good diet rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients can help reduce the risk of BPH. Foods like tomatoes, which are rich in lycopene, and fatty fish, which are rich in omega-3s, are known to have benefits for prostate health. Additionally, reducing alcohol and caffeine intake is beneficial for minimizing bladder and prostate irritation.
Exercise is also recommended to prevent BPH. Maintaining a healthy weight and engaging in moderate to vigorous activity can help reduce inflammation in the body, which contributes to prostate health. Pelvic floor exercises can also be incorporated to help control symptoms associated with this condition.
At Sioufi Urology Clinic, we offer specialized consultations to assess your risk of BPH and discuss the best methods of prevention and treatment.
