5 Signs of an Unhealthy Prostate Men Over 50 Shouldn’t Ignore

Discover the 5 critical warning signs of an unhealthy or enlarged prostate (BPH) that men over 50 should never ignore. If you're experiencing changes in urination like a weak stream, hesitancy, intermittency, frequent trips to the bathroom—especially at night—or sudden urgency, these could signal benign prostatic hyperplasia, a common condition affecting up to 50% of men by age 60 and 90% by age 85. Backed by insights from Harvard Health and medical experts, this video explains the prostate's role, why these symptoms occur due to gland enlargement compressing the urethra, and when to seek medical help to prevent complications like bladder stress or incontinence. In this essential guide for men's health, learn about: Weak or slow urinary stream – A sign of urethral obstruction making emptying the bladder take longer. Hesitancy – Difficulty starting urination despite a strong urge. Intermittency – Starting and stopping midstream, indicating bladder muscle strain. Increased frequency (nocturia) – Urinating more often, disrupting sleep with multiple nighttime awakenings. Urgency – Sudden, intense needs to urinate that may lead to leakage. Early detection through these symptoms can lead to effective management, improving quality of life without dismissing them as "normal aging." Whether you're dealing with prostate problems, BPH treatment options, or preventive tips, this video empowers you with knowledge to act sooner.
