EP 771: BPH Symptoms, You State? Is It Your Bladder Or Prostate?

Is it your bladder… or your prostate? 🤔 In this episode of The Armor Men's Health Show, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee break down the real story behind urinary symptoms that so many men quietly deal with—slow flow, hesitancy, urgency, frequent bathroom trips, incomplete emptying, and even incontinence.They dive into the most common medications used to treat an enlarged prostate (BPH) and overactive bladder, including alpha-blockers, hormonal therapies, anticholinergics, and beta-agonists—explaining what they do, who they help, and the trade-offs no one warns you about. Think lightheadedness, low libido, erectile dysfunction, retrograde ejaculation, and even infertility. Yep, all on the table.You’ll also learn why about 20% of men with urinary symptoms don’t actually have an enlarged prostate at all, but instead have an overactive bladder—and why those patients may do better with lifestyle changes, natural supplements, pelvic floor physical therapy, or targeted medications.If you or someone you love is struggling with urinary symptoms, this episode will help you understand your options and ask better questions.
