Can you take BPH meds and blood pressure meds together?

For many men as they grow older, BPH and hypertension often come together. The concern is that some BPH medications—especially alpha-blockers and PDE5 inhibitors—can lower blood pressure, raising the risk of dizziness or falls.

📌Remember:
▪️Know the exact name and type of your medication.
▪️Watch for warning signs like blurred vision or sudden fatigue.
▪️If you experience severe dizziness, talk to your doctor right away.

Managing BPH is important — but giving up coffee? Not happening!

Turns out, the age group most at risk for BPH also loves coffee the most. In the U.S., 67% of adults drink coffee daily — and men 60+? Over 70%!

🥹 But don’t panic: BPH ≠ coffee breakup.

What matters is smart habits:
☕️ 1–2 cups a day is fine (just skip that 9pm espresso)
☕️ Track your symptoms and switch to decaf if needed
☕️ Find your personal “sweet spot” instead of giving up your favorite brew

How many times do you wake up at night to p*e? 🚽

Waking up 2 or more times a night is common — but it’s not always “just getting older.”

A major study found that compared to people who sleep through the night, those waking up twice or more:

▪️Had 60% higher hospitalization rates
▪️Made 19% more outpatient doctor visits
▪️Worked 3.9 fewer hours per week on average
▪️Racked up $62.9 billion in extra U.S. healthcare costs every year

Do you think summer heat is a big threat to your urinary health?
Research shows that sudden temperature swings may actually make urinary symptoms worse.

📊 A large study in South Korea found that:
- Emergency visits for urinary issues jumped 48% on days with temperature swings over 14°C (57°F)
- Catheter insertions for acute urinary retention increased 49%

That’s not just about the heat—it’s about how your body reacts to extreme shifts in temperature and hydration.

Is BPH genetic?

If your father, brother, or uncle had an enlarged prostate, you may be wondering if genetics play a role.
While BPH isn’t passed down like eye color, research suggests that genes do matter.

Studies estimate the heritability of benign prostate disease at around 49%.
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) have been linked to heritability rates ranging from 20% to 40%, and in some cases, as high as 83%.

Feeling concerned? Knowing your risks is the first step.
And the more you care for your health, the more likely you are to protect it.
