If you’re experiencing urinary symptoms such as needing to p*e more often, urgency, getting up at night, or a weaker flow, your prostate may be playing a role — and caffeine can make these symptoms worse.
Caffeine acts as both a stimulant and a bladder irritant. For men with prostate enlargement or prostate inflammation, this can lead to:
☕ Increased urinary frequency
🚽 Sudden urgency
🌙 Night-time trips to the toilet
💧 Bladder irritation and discomfort
What can help:
✔️ Reducing coffee, tea, energy drinks and cola
✔️ Avoiding caffeine later in the day
✔️ Switching to decaf or herbal options
✔️ Staying well hydrated with water
If symptoms persist, worsen, or are starting to affect your sleep or quality of life, it’s worth getting checked.
I offer confidential men’s health assessments — including prostate review, urine testing, and tailored advice or treatment where needed.
