Patient's question:
I am already a middle-aged man. At our age, some people may develop benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Doctor, can you tell me about the preventive measures for BPH? What should I pay attention to in terms of diet? Can I still have sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
Men are prone to prostate-related diseases as they reach a certain age. If you are currently of age and have not yet experienced symptoms of a prostate disease, it is important to pay attention to preventive measures to avoid the onset of prostate diseases. You can have sexual activity, but it should not be excessively frequent. For your age, it is advisable to have no more than nine sexual encounters per week. Additionally, avoid spicy foods in your diet and minimize the consumption of beer, as well as refraining from prolonged sitting. Prostate hyperplasia can cause significant harm to patients. Once you notice any symptoms, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to self-care, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding stimulating foods. It is hoped that patients with prostate hyperplasia can receive professional treatment.
