Patient's question:
Last year, I went to the hospital for a physical examination and was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia. I want to know, what should I eat for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, urination difficulties occur. Long-term increased abdominal pressure can easily lead to complications such as hemorrhoids and rectal prolapse. Hematuria is one of the common symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. After benign prostatic hyperplasia, the mucosa covering the prostate gland becomes congested, causing capillaries to dilate and small blood vessels to become varicose. The submucosal blood vessels of the prostate urethra and bladder neck are stretched by the enlarged gland. When the bladder contracts, the blood vessels can rupture. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect overall health, so patients should seek appropriate treatment promptly. Additionally, in daily life, it is important to avoid overexertion and maintain good personal hygiene.
