Talking with your loved one about male urinary symptoms |
|
Not surprisingly, it's not easy to talk about your male urinary symptoms with a loved one. However, given its potential impact on both of you, it's important to do so. Where do you start? Here.
If you are experiencing male urinary symptoms, others may notice too. Frequent nighttime trips to the bathroom may disturb your sleeping partner, and your inability to sit through a concert or sporting event may cause them concern. They may feel uncomfortable bringing up the subject, so it is important to acknowledge your symptoms and make an appointment to see your doctor. Only your doctor can tell if your symptoms are due to BPH and not another condition such as prostate cancer. If you are diagnosed with BPH, reassure your partner with the information that BPH is a very common condition and, in most cases, can be easily treated.
