Did you know?

Getting up several times during the night to go to the toilet isn't something you just have to put up with.

For some men, it can be linked to Benign Prostatic Enlargement (BPE), a common prostate condition that becomes more common with age.

BPE can affect men from their 40s onwards and support and treatment are available.

If you're experiencing symptoms or are concerned about your prostate health, speak to your GP.

For trusted information about BPE, symptoms and treatment options, we recommend visiting Prostate Scotland’s website.
