What diseases can be caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

What are the harms of benign prostatic hyperplasia to the body. How is benign prostatic hyperplasia treated, what diseases can it cause

Doctor's answer:

As a patient, you should be fully aware of the harm that benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can bring to you, such as urinary retention, incontinence, and uremia. While receiving treatment, it is important to take relevant preventive measures, such as abstaining from alcohol, maintaining a regular schedule, and avoiding overexertion. For example, in your diet, you should eat less spicy foods like chili peppers; minimize alcohol consumption to prevent repeated congestion of the prostate and bladder neck, which can increase the risk of constipation.
Every morning, you should drink a glass of warm plain water on an empty stomach. It can help prevent constipation, dissolve blood clots, and mechanically cleanse the urethra, preventing the accumulation of residual urine and the formation of stones.
