Patient's question:
Usually in good health, today during a health check at the First Affiliated Hospital, I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia, approximately 4030 in size. It's likely that I've had it for about a month. My urination is mostly normal, without symptoms of urgency or frequency, but I've noticed a decrease in sexual activity and a lack of desire.Doctor's answer:
The prostate is a reproductive gland located near the male urinary tract. Therefore, when the prostate enlarges, it can obstruct the urethra, including the posterior urethra and bladder neck. This can lead to increased frequency of urination, a strong urge to urinate, and an increased ability of the bladder to store urine. As the enlarged prostate narrows the urinary tract, the condition of benign prostatic hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis from professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on examination results, and appropriate dietary habits and sexual activity should be avoided.
