Prostate Health: What to Know After 40

The prostate is a quiet part of men's health. We gathered the signs to watch as the years pass, along with lifestyle notes and natural support.

The prostate is a small but important part of the male reproductive system. From the age of 40, enlargement of the prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH) is common and often shows up as a change in urinary habits.

Which signs deserve attention?

Waking often at night to urinate, a weaker stream, a feeling of not emptying fully, and sudden urgency are the signs seen most often. If you notice any of them, speak with a urologist.

The role of lifestyle

Regular exercise, a healthy weight, limiting caffeine and alcohol, and drinking less in the evening are simple steps that matter for prostate health.

Early awareness is the key to many comfortable years.

Natural support

Pumpkin seed oil and saw palmetto are botanical sources traditionally used to support prostate and urinary health. Before starting any supplement, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
