Patient's question:
I have a pretty regular lifestyle and don't have any bad habits. Last week, during my physical check-up, the doctor found that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). I don't really understand this condition well. What are the causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Frequent drug use or long-term alcohol consumption can stimulate benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH can affect men's lives, leading to chronic nephritis and may even progress to uremia. If BPH is not treated promptly, it can cause the prostate to control the bladder outlet, preventing the complete emptying of urine and resulting in residual urine. The condition of BPH tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results, and appropriate dietary habits should be maintained to avoid sexual activity.
