Leckie: A lifestyle approach to an enlarged prostate (BPH)
Many men with a slowly enlarging prostate have lifestyle options worth trying before considering surgery or long-term medication. The episode covers practical techniques like double voiding (urinating, pausing, then trying again), pelvic floor exercises (training the muscles involved in bladder control and urination), hydration timing, and a diet that cuts sugar and ultra-processed foods. It positions surgery and medication as appropriate for some patients but recommends a structured trial of conservative care first, alongside standard urology guidance rather than instead of it.
