As men age, changes can occur to the prostate including enlargement, and changes with urination flow, and urge. A healthy prostate means a healthy flow of urine, efficient bladder emptying and less waking during the night to urinate. This can influence overall health too, including heathy unbroken sleep, which has a flow on effect for mental wellbeing, mood and energy.

What is the prostate gland?

The prostate is a walnut sized gland that helps make seminal fluid. It sits below the bladder, and the urethra runs through the middle of it. During sexual arousal, the urine flow is shut off to make way for seminal fluid. Seminal fluid is vital for the health of sperm, and fertility.
