What should be noted when caring for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
And I have been married to my wife for many years. We haven't used any contraception, but we haven't gotten pregnant. We only found out after checking at the hospital. Please ask, what should be noted when caring for a patient with benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

The causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are many, such as hormonal imbalance, frequent holding of urine, changes in prostate tissue itself, spicy diet, or drug use, etc. Mild fibrosis does not require treatment, while severe cases can be treated with medication. Avoid sitting for long periods, riding bicycles or horses, exercise regularly, do not hold urine, and avoid tight underwear. Pay attention to hygiene of the external genitalia, maintain a regular sexual life, do not have prolonged or overly frequent sexual activity, and avoid masturbation. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, consume more tomatoes, drink plenty of water, do not drink alcohol, and avoid spicy foods, which can help control fibrosis expansion. In addition to conventional treatment for BPH, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a cheerful mood.
