Health News Live January 3, 2025 : Winter and risk of prostate problems in men over 60: What's the connection? Urologist explains

The article from MSN, published on January 3, 2025, discusses the connection between winter and an increased risk of prostate problems in men over 60. Urologist Dr. Rajesh Kumar explains that cold weather can exacerbate prostate issues due to several factors. Firstly, men tend to reduce physical activity in winter, leading to weight gain and a sedentary lifestyle, which can contribute to prostate enlargement. Secondly, dehydration is common in colder months as people drink less water, and this can affect urinary health. Additionally, the cold can cause vasoconstriction, reducing blood flow to the prostate, potentially worsening symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Dr. Kumar advises men to maintain hydration, engage in regular physical activity, and possibly adjust their medication or seek medical advice if symptoms worsen during winter.
