Patient's question:
Always urinating frequently, and always feeling like you can't empty your bladder completely. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was said that I suffer from benign prostatic hyperplasia. But my father has a hobby of cycling for exercise. Is cycling suitable for people with benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Cycling can cause harm to the prostate, so it is not recommended for the elderly to exercise by cycling to avoid friction from the saddle on the prostate. Additionally, for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, cycling also has the issue of low oxygen uptake, making it an unsuitable activity for the elderly. The condition of benign prostatic hyperplasia tends to fluctuate, requiring long-term oral medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to seek medical diagnosis at a professional and reputable hospital and consider treatment based on the results of thorough examinations. Furthermore, it is important to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
