Patient's question:
I just got this disease recently, and I'm a bit hard to believe. How could I have gotten it when I was doing fine? What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
The causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) include the following:1. Chronic prostatitis that has not been completely cured, or conditions such as urethritis, cystitis, or prostatic utricle inflammation, leading to fibrosis of the prostate due to impaired blood discharge.
2. Lack of physical exercise, which can cause atherosclerosis and poor local blood circulation in the prostate, also triggering BPH.
3. Excessive sexual activity or intercourse, causing congestion in the sexual organs, which results in prostate enlargement due to prolonged congestion.
4. Frequent consumption of beer or long-term alcohol intake, as well as a diet high in spicy or irritating foods, can stimulate the development of BPH.
