Is this avoidable? Or the result of bad health or bad habits?

Older men have an enlarged prostate. It presses on the bladder causing them to feel the need to go more, and not feel like the bladder is empty after going.
Older men are prone to prostate issues. The prostate gland enlarges and partially blocks the urethra making urination more difficult or even painful.
This can cause a frequent need to urinate or urinating in small amounts.
Treatment is available though. There are drugs that help and prostate surgery is relatively routine.
Typically prostate issues. The Prostate gland has a hole through the middle (like a donut) and the urethra passes through the hole. Its pretty common in older men for the prostate to enlarge. This makes the hole that the urethra passes through smaller, which can compress the urethra and partially obstruct urine flow, so it can come out as a trickle or in spurts instead of a normal stream. There are some risk factors like diabetes and obesity, but it’s not necessarily the result of bad health or bad habits. It’s just something that happens to a lot of men as they get older – even men in perfect health.
Often, but not always, it is due to what’s known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which means the prostate swells and partly blocks the urethra, but is not a danger to the man’s life, since it’s benign.
Keep everything taut. That would mean compound exercises that target a lot of muscle chains.
Hip thrust (be very careful about proper form with this one) and if you can’t, deadlifts.
Pressure and mechanical activity in the body’s tissues are not seen as necessary. In zero gravity tissue trauma leads to necrosis. Because the waste chemicals cannot be continuously drained. Exercise is temporary. Which injured people shouldn’t be doing anyway lol.
So mechanical factors are poorly understood given physics is not a requirement to become a doctor.
Another example is excretion of waste products from the bodies of ISS astronauts. Because of low/zero gravity, it’s not happening right. Consequently they’re coming back with vision problems for example.
