Enlarged Prostate and BPH Urinary Symptoms ・Manalapan, NJ
An Enlarged Prostate Should Not Control Your Day or Ruin Your Sleep
If you wait for your stream to start, push to empty your bladder, return to the bathroom shortly after going, or wake up several times each night, you know how frustrating these symptoms can become.BPH may restrict urine flow, but the prostate may not be the only part of the problem. Your bladder habits, pelvic floor muscles, and the signals between your bladder and brain can also affect how often and how easily you urinate.
We determine what may be contributing and create a clear plan to help you urinate with less strain, improve bladder control, and spend less time thinking about the bathroom.
Why this happens
Your Symptoms May Be About More Than Prostate Size
The prostate surrounds part of the tube that carries urine out of your bladder. When the prostate enlarges, it may narrow that passage and make urine harder to pass. Your bladder may begin working harder to empty, while straining, rushing to the bathroom, or tightening your pelvic muscles can add to the problem.Pelvic floor physical therapy does not change the size of the prostate. It addresses the bladder habits, muscle tension, straining, and poor coordination that may be adding to your urinary symptoms.Stop Planning Your Life Around the BathroomYou should not have to map out every bathroom, avoid activities, or accept broken sleep without understanding what may be contributing.If BPH urinary symptoms are interfering with your day or keeping you up at night, schedule your evaluation and get a clear plan for moving forward.
