The National Institute of Health Men's Health category offers a plethora of resources for all kinds of men's health issues, from cardiovascular disease to sexual issues to Athlete's Foot.  One of the most prevalent health issues for men are prostate problems.  Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men.  Men in their early thirties and forties rarely develop prostate cancer, but the incidence increases steadily after the age of fifty.  Thankfully, because of awareness campaigns such as Men's Health Month, prostate cancer deaths have been declining for the past several years, which many experts believe to be the result of better screening and earlier diagnosis.

Younger men are not without their own prostate problems.  According to the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse, the most common prostate problem in men under fifty is prostatitis, meaning the prostate is inflamed.  This is sometimes caused by bacteria, but can also indicate other conditions such as kidney stones or cancer.  Men over fifty years of age can also have prostate problems without cancer, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, also known as BPH.  As men get older, their prostate keeps growing and this condition is also referred to as prostate enlargement.  BPH can cause symptoms such as a frequent and urgent need to urinate, trouble starting a urine stream, a weak stream of urine, the feeling that you still have to urinate even when you have just finished and small amounts of blood in your urine.

Another great incontinence product for men is the HealthDri Men's Heavy Briefs.  This single-piece garment offers a money-saving and environmentally sound alternative to disposables as it is washable over 300 times.  The patented moisture management control panel pulls moisture away from the body and also protects outer clothing.  
                           

The shell is made of 100% cotton and has the feel, wear and care of regular underwear, while the inner fabric is cotton/polyester/nylon and can hold up to 6 ounces of liquid.  There are many different sizes available so you can find exactly the right briefs for you.

Be sure to check out all of the fabulous resources available to you at the Men's Health Month website and help spread the word about Men's Health awareness far and wide.  Get regular check-ups and health screenings for your total health and well-being, and if you find you are having urinary difficulties or irregularities of any kind, don't ignore an "uncomfortable" problem.
