Patient's question:
Doctor, I have benign prostatic hyperplasia, but I don't understand this disease. I would like to consult about what the cause of benign prostatic hyperplasia is.Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is primarily closely related to the following factors:1) Unhealthy lifestyle habits. Young people today often have irregular living patterns, frequent drug use, and excessive dining, all of which can lead to excessive stimulation of the prostate, triggering BPH.
2) Hormonal interference. BPH is closely linked to the endocrine imbalance of androgens and estrogens in the body. Testosterone is the primary male androgen, which, under the action of enzymes, is converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the active hormone that stimulates BPH.
3) Sexual interference. Many young people have irregular sexual habits, engage in frequent sexual activity, and lack physical exercise. Poor blood circulation in the prostate gland can easily cause the prostate tissue to become engorged, leading to recurrent BPH.
