Patient's question:
Today's check revealed benign prostatic hyperplasia. What are the causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Long-term suffering from certain chronic diseases, especially those related to the endocrine or metabolic system, as well as those who overwork excessively or lack proper nutrition, can lead to the weakening of various organ functions, the decline of endocrine system function, and disruptions in the metabolism of sex hormones, all of which may contribute to the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Long-term alcohol consumption, a diet high in spicy, acidic, or cold foods, frequent or severe exposure to cold, dampness, or chill, excessive sexual desire or overly frequent sexual activity, and obesity are also risk factors.
