A review of experiencing frequent urination due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, taking supplements, and starting exercise

Since last year, I have been experiencing difficulty holding my urine or frequent urination, known as nocturia, but I thought it was just a temporary phenomenon and ignored it. However, as the symptoms did not improve, I went to the hospital and was told that nocturia is a symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The symptoms were not very severe, so I only took medication for a short period, but to fully recover, I also started taking supplements and improved my lifestyle habits. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is literally when the prostate enlarges and compresses the urethra, causing urination problems. The symptoms of BPH include frequent urination, urinary retention, urgency, reduced flow, and residual sensation, among others. I mainly experienced frequent urination. The nocturia caused some inconvenience in my daily life, especially when driving and sleeping. Particularly at night, it was hard to get restful sleep due to frequent urination. Waking up repeatedly lowered my sleep quality, making my life tiring and difficult. So, I researched supplements that are good for BPH and started taking Prostamol from Chong Kun Dang Health. I learned about BPH and the supplement through the fruit of the saw palmetto plant. Saw palmetto is a palm tree that lives about 700 years, and it has been consumed since ancient times by Native Americans for men's prostate health. Even now, many people with BPH symptoms take saw palmetto supplements.

In addition to saw palmetto, I researched other supplements that might help with benign prostatic hyperplasia and purchased and took Yo, which can aid in improving bladder urination function from Green Store. This is a complex supplement based on pumpkin seed extract, and I bought it after reading reviews that many people suffering from frequent urination due to prostate enlargement experienced significant benefits. This supplement is especially good for those who find it difficult to hold their urine and urinate frequently.

And after looking into the information, I found that changing lifestyle habits is also very important in alleviating symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. So I avoided irritating foods such as caffeine, alcohol, and spicy, salty foods as much as possible, and maintained a diet rich in fruits and vegetables high in fiber. I also tried to increase aerobic exercise like brisk walking and cycling to boost my body's metabolism. After several months of taking supplements consistently and changing my lifestyle habits, my frequent urination symptoms at night, where I would wake up several times to go to the bathroom, have significantly improved. Now, I can sleep through the night without waking up or only wake up once to go to the bathroom. Moving forward, I plan to continue maintaining healthy habits through diet and exercise to prevent the recurrence of benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms.
