What is benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

This year, my unit had a physical examination, and the results said I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. Should I treat this condition? What exactly is benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

Prostate hyperplasia has a high incidence rate among middle-aged and elderly men, affecting normal training and life. As age increases, due to testicular atrophy in the elderly and disordered metabolism of sexual hormones in the body, the prostate is continuously stimulated by hormones, leading to fibrous hyperplasia. If you have time, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for a check-up and timely symptomatic treatment to recover early.
