What causes benign prostatic hyperplasia?

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 bathroom, 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's probably benign prostatic hyperplasia. I'm asking: What causes benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Prostatitis can cause symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, discomfort or burning sensation in the urethra during urination. After urination and defecation, there is often white discharge from the urethral opening. Sometimes it may also lead to blood in semen, perineal pain, sexual dysfunction, and neurological symptoms. The duration of treatment varies depending on individual conditions. Non-bacterial prostatitis generally requires a treatment period of 15-20 days to achieve complete recovery. It is absolutely not infectious. Treatments include antibiotic therapy, anesthetic treatment, physical therapy, and more. Prostate enlargement tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on detailed examination results. Additionally, it is important to restrict sexual activity, maintain a positive mood, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
