Patient's question:
Actually, it wasn't very serious at first. It was just that every time I urinated, I felt a bit of resistance. Recently, I've noticed the situation is getting worse. Sometimes the urine is very thin, and urination is quite difficult, a bit painful. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said it's benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Please ask: How should I treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, previously known as benign prostatic hypertrophy, is a common condition that troubles middle-aged and elderly men. Its symptoms are characterized by the enlargement of the prostate gland, which compresses the urethra and leads to difficulties in urination. The causes of prostate hyperplasia are multifaceted. In addition to the two main factors of aging and testosterone secretion, with the formation of new lifestyles, various other contributing factors have also been gradually identified. The two traditional factors that cause prostate hyperplasia have not changed, but due to the overall improvement in living standards, the consumption of high-calorie, high-fat foods has been continuously increasing, leading to additional triggers for prostate hyperplasia. The condition of prostate hyperplasia tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication.
