Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common benign disease in middle-aged and elderly men, and it is related to age increase and endocrine. It can cause symptoms such as frequent urination and urinary obstruction.(1) Avoid alcohol and pay attention to preventing colds.

BPH can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment.
