What are the causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

Prostate enlargement diagnosed last March, I've had no significant symptoms during that time. Recently, I've been feeling abdominal fullness, and urination has been intermittent. I often wake up at night and also experience frequent urination during the day. Does this mean my condition has worsened? Please ask: What are the causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

The prostate gland produces secretions that form a normal component of semen. In daily life, the prostate is involved in urination, sexual activity, and ejaculation. Simply put, frequent and repeated use of the gland will inevitably lead to fibrosis and compensatory hypertrophy. This is the reason why. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and maintain regular sexual activity while avoiding prolonged sitting in daily life. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
