Healthy Habits for Better Urologic Health

Good urologic health is key to overall well-being—from bladder control to kidney function and reproductive health. Small daily choices can make a big difference.

- Hydrate Often: Drink plenty of water to flush bacteria and support your kidneys.
- Don’t Hold It: Go when you feel the urge—holding it can strain your bladder and increase infection risk.
- Watch What You Drink: Caffeine, alcohol, and carbonated drinks can irritate the bladder.
- Stay Active: Exercise improves circulation and helps maintain a healthy weight, reducing pressure on your bladder.
- Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor: Kegel exercises benefit both men and women by improving bladder control.
- Pay Attention to Changes: Pain, burning, or frequent urges may need a urologist’s attention.

Healthy bladder habits go a long way toward lifelong urologic wellness.

Overactive bladder (OAB) is more common than many realize—affecting both men and women. While it’s often part of aging, it’s not a normal part of it.

Frequent urges, waking up at night, and worrying about finding a restroom can disrupt daily life—but OAB is highly treatable!

Treatment options include pelvic floor exercises, diet changes, medications, and minimally invasive therapies.

If bladder symptoms are interfering with your comfort or sleep, talk to a urologist—relief is possible.
