Patient's question:
I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. My wife has been urging me to get a check-up. What causes benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
When emotions are not in harmony, it can lead to liver stagnation and qi blockage, resulting in poor blood and qi circulation, triggering blood clots in the body, and consequently obstructing the circulation of the prostate, leading to the recurrence of fibrosis. Holding urine for too long and increasing water intake can cause urine to become concentrated and increase the frequency of urination, leading to the accumulation of toxins in the urine, which can harm the prostate. An unreasonable dietary structure and unhealthy eating habits are also important factors contributing to prostate diseases. If prostate enlargement reappears, it should be noted that, contrary to consuming spicy foods, a light diet can reduce pressure on the prostate. Drink less beer, especially high-proof alcohol; include more vegetables and fruits in your daily diet.
