As they get older, many men suffer from problems with bladder and urination control as well. This can lead to symptoms that are not harmful, but are embarrassing, such as leaking, weak urination or having to urinate hourly.

However, prostate problems can also lead to regular urination during the night, disrupting sleep. This can lead to mental health problems, but also physical health problems, as a lack of quality sleep weakens the immune system and leads to more illness.

Urination (going and stopping yourself) depends on muscle control. But as we get older, the muscles around our bladder weaken. And some prostate treatments can also weaken the same muscles – the pelvic floor muscles.

Here is some advice that you should follow, to ease or even stop bladder and urination problems.
