Does a slightly enlarged prostate affect employment?

Patient's question:

Health check report upon employment indicates slightly enlarged prostate. I don't have any discomfort symptoms. After consulting a doctor, they said no treatment is needed and advised to drink more water and stay more active. How does this slightly enlarged prostate affect employment?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, if you usually have no discomfort symptoms, it does not affect the suggestion for employment. Considering you are very young and have no discomfort symptoms, a slightly enlarged prostate does not need to be addressed. However, if symptoms reappear, treatment for the prostate condition will be necessary. Prostate conditions tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term oral medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Moreover, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
