How can I keep my prostate healthy as I age?

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, staying physically active, eating a balanced diet, and having regular prostate check-ups can help support prostate health as you age. Early evaluation of urinary symptoms allows timely diagnosis and treatment if prostate problems develop.

To support long-term prostate health:

• Exercise regularly.
• Maintain a healthy weight.
• Eat a balanced, high-fiber diet.
• Stay hydrated.
• Avoid smoking.
• Limit excessive alcohol consumption.
• Manage diabetes and blood pressure.
• Do not ignore urinary symptoms.
• Visit a urologist for regular prostate evaluations after the age of 50, or earlier if advised because of family history or symptoms.

Good lifestyle habits cannot completely prevent prostate enlargement, but they can contribute to better urinary health and overall well-being.
