ABOUT BACK TO LIFE WITHOUT INTERRUPTIONS Men age 50 and over may
face daily interruptions due to a commonly disregarded health condition –
enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Characterized by frequent urination, urgency, nocturia, hesitancy,
intermittency, feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder, and a weak
stream, this non-cancerous condition may cause a man to take frequent
trips to the bathroom. However, the majority of men often don’t do
anything to address their symptoms, they merely accommodate their daily
routines to their condition. Men age 50 and over may experience disrupted
sleep with three to four interruptions per night to urinate, causing
fatigue and irritability for them and their partners. These men may also
avoid long car trips because of their need to stop every hour, or they may
adjust their route around rest stops where bathrooms exist, otherwise
known as “toilet-mapping.” Back to Life Without Interruptions is made possible by the campaign
sponsor, sanofi-aventis
