Why do I dribble after I finish?
Known as "post-void dribbling," this happens when urine remains trapped in the bulbar urethra (the curved section of the urine tube) and leaks out when you move or relax after urinating. It's extremely common in men with BPH and is not dangerous, though it can be embarrassing. A technique called "urethral milking" - gently pressing upward on the area behind your sc***um after urinating - can help push out the remaining urine before you zip up.

What is a 'Normal' urine flow rate for men? A Peak Flow Rate (Qmax) above 15 mL/s is generally considered healthy and indicates good bladder emptying. A flow rate between 10-15 mL/s suggests mild obstruction, while below 10 mL/s is a strong indicator of significant prostate obstruction.

What is a Uroflowmetry test? It measures the speed (flow rate) and volume of your urine stream to objectively determine the degree of obstruction caused by the prostate. It's completely non-invasive. Traditionally, you simply urinate into a special toilet or funnel that contains sensors. A healthy peak flow rate (Qmax) is above 15 mL/s, while rates below 10 mL/s typically indicate significant blockage requiring treatment.

What does a "high PSA" actually mean?
A high Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) level can indicate an enlarged prostate, inflammation (prostatitis), or cancer. It's a "smoke detector" that signals something that needs attention, not a diagnosis itself. PSA can also be temporarily elevated by recent sexual activity, vigorous exercise, bike riding, or even a digital re**al exam. Your doctor will typically recheck elevated PSA levels and may order additional tests like a prostate MRI or biopsy to determine the actual cause.

What is a digital re**al exam (DRE)?
A DRE is a physical exam where your doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into the re**um to feel the prostate's size, shape, and consistency. The exam takes only 10-20 seconds and helps identify enlarged areas, hard nodules (which might suggest cancer), or tenderness (which might suggest infection). While uncomfortable, it provides valuable information that PSA tests and imaging alone cannot reveal.

What is BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)?
BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can compress the urethra and obstruct urine flow. It's extremely common, affecting roughly 50% of men by age 60 and 90% by age 85*, and is caused by hormonal changes as men age. Despite the urinary symptoms it causes, BPH is not cancer and does not increase your risk of prostate cancer.

🐶 Can animals get prostate enlargement too?

A surprising fact to start the year 👇
✔️ All male mammals have a prostate
✔️ BPH is very common in dogs
❌ But rare in cats

Especially in non-neutered male dogs,
the prostate tends to grow as they age.

They can’t tell us when something feels off.
If you notice changes in your dog’s peeing or pooping habits, don’t ignore them 🐾

A new year is a great reminder:
👉 Prostate health—whether for you or your dog—is best cared for early.

Start the year paying attention.
Small changes matter. ✨

Not just because all the milk and cookies, but… BPH! And one very long night.

As men get older, frequent bathroom trips, weak flow, or waking up at night become more common — and Santa is no exception.

Good news is that you can handle it!

Myth or Fact? “Cranberry” sauce may be your prostate savior!

Did you enjoy your Thanksgiving family dinner? Make sure you eat your cranberry sauce.
Cranberries are rich in phytonutrients, which are beneficial for bladder health and enlarged prostate. According to a study titled “The effectiveness of dried cranberries in men with lower urinary tract symptoms”*, men who took a cranberry supplement for six months experienced positive changes in their urinary symptoms! Improvements included fewer trips to the bathroom during the day and night, and better a flow rate.
So, enjoy your cranberry sauce this Thanksgiving - and remember to watch the sugar content. Give thanks to your loved ones for preparing the meal, and see how these delightful berries can help improve your symptoms with proudP!
