Does benign prostatic hyperplasia have any harmful effects? Does benign prostatic hyperplasia have any harmful effects?Doctor's answer:
The hazards of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are numerous: Prostate diseases can damage the urethra, obstructing it and causing bladder and intestinal obstruction, leading to various urinary difficulties, urethritis, kidney hydronephrosis, and chronic kidney failure. Prostate diseases can impair the excitability of sexual nerves, resulting in symptoms such as premature ejaculation and nocturnal emissions. In more severe cases, it may even lead to complete loss of sexual function. If you have BPH, it is important to seek timely examination and treatment at a professional and reputable urological hospital.Conversely, a diet high in spicy foods should be avoided, as a diet can reduce pressure on the prostate. Limit your consumption of beer, especially high-alcohol beverages. In your daily diet, include more vegetables and fruits to reduce the occurrence of constipation. This helps minimize the repeated congestion of blood in the perineum, thereby lowering the risk of prostate congestion.
