Advise men to reduce fluid intake at specific times to decrease urinary frequency, especially at night or when going out in public ¹.

Ensure fluid intake is not excessively limited, as this could increase the risk of complications such as urinary tract infections ¹.

Encourage the treatment of constipation if present, to support overall bladder health ¹.

Recommend maintaining a healthy lifestyle by reducing weight, stopping smoking, and improving diet if relevant ¹.

Advise moderation or avoidance of caffeine and alcohol intake, as these can aggravate LUTS ¹.
