Waking up to urinate every night? What men need to know about prostate health

For many men, waking up during the night to urinate or planning their day around access to a bathroom can become part of everyday life.

But according to consultant urologist Professor Mutambirwa, urinary symptoms should not simply be dismissed as an inevitable part of getting older.

Speaking to celebrity doctor Dr Michael Mol on Cipla Health Matters, Mutambirwa discussed common prostate problems, urinary tract infections (UTIs) in men and the impact these conditions can have on sleep, relationships and sexual function.

The conversation also explored treatment options and why men should seek medical advice rather than quietly putting up with symptoms.

“Silence is not a strategy,” Mol said during the discussion.
