Waking several times at night to urinate, struggling with a weak stream, or feeling that your bladder has not emptied completely can be easy to dismiss as part of ageing.
But these symptoms may be associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—an enlarged prostate that can interfere with normal urine flow.
1. Pay Attention to Changes in Your Urine Flow
- Notice if your stream is becoming weaker
- Pay attention to difficulty starting urination
- Take persistent incomplete emptying seriously
2. Reduce Night-Time Bathroom Trips
- Avoid large amounts of fluid close to bedtime
- Limit caffeine later in the day
- Reduce alcohol, especially in the evening
3. Give Your Bladder Time To Empty
- Avoid rushing when you urinate
- Do not strain excessively
- Seek advice if you constantly feel urine remains
4. Don’t Assume It Is Just Age
- Persistent symptoms should be properly evaluated
- Report pain, blood in the urine, or repeated infections
- Seek help if urinary symptoms are getting worse
5. Address Both Urine Flow and Prostate Enlargement
- Tamsulosin 0.4 mg helps relax muscles around the prostate and bladder outlet
- Dutasteride 0.5 mg helps reduce prostate enlargement over time
- Combination treatment may be appropriate for some men with symptomatic BPH and an enlarged prostate
Avance AVAFLO D
Avance AVAFLO D combines tamsulosin 0.4 mg + dutasteride 0.5 mg in one capsule, helping address both urine flow and prostate enlargement as part of BPH management.
Avance AVAFLO D should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
🚨 Seek urgent medical attention if you suddenly become unable to urinate.
Persistent urinary symptoms should not simply become your new normal. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist about BPH and whether Avance AVAFLO D may be appropriate for you.
