Patient's question:
These days, I don't know what's wrong, but I always feel a strong urge to urinate. However, when I go to the toilet, it feels like there isn't much urine. Sometimes, it's just a drop or two. During morning urination, I even noticed that my urine was split. After consulting, I found out it might be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Could you please tell me: What are the causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is often caused by factors such as a decrease in testosterone levels in the body, overexertion, excessive alcohol and smoking, frequent sexual activity, and poor rest, which lead to congestion and edema of the prostate tissue, fibrosis and enlargement, obstructing the urethra (internal orifice), and causing symptoms of frequent urination and urgency. It is recommended to follow a light diet, avoid spicy and fried foods, and after a definitive diagnosis, undergo microwave therapy, take oral Prostect tablets, Qian Mao Tuan capsule, San Jin tablets, and Norfloxacin capsules for medication. Prostate hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek professional and reputable medical treatment immediately, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
