Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like there's a lack of strength when urinating. The stream is very thin, and I even feel like I can't urinate properly. Is this a sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia? If so, could you please explain how benign prostatic hyperplasia is usually caused?Doctor's answer:
Poor living habits. Nowadays, young people have irregular lifestyles, frequent drug use, and excessive consumption of spicy foods, all of which can lead to excessive stimulation of the prostate gland, causing benign prostatic hyperplasia. Impact of sexual activity. Many young people have irregular sexual habits, frequent sexual intercourse, and lack of physical exercise, resulting in poor blood circulation in the prostate. This can easily cause the prostate tissue to become engorged and lead to recurrent benign prostatic hyperplasia. Contrary to consuming spicy foods, a light diet can reduce pressure on the prostate. Drink less beer, especially low-proof alcohol; include more vegetables and fruits in your daily diet to reduce the recurrence of constipation.
