Patient's question:
I have recently been experiencing recurring symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination. At first, I thought it was due to my body being too tired and excessive stress, and that resting for a few days would solve the problem. However, after resting, the symptoms remained the same, and I became very worried that I might have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). How can I prevent BPH?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is an adenomatous fibrosis of prostate cells surrounding the urinary tract, a common and frequently occurring disease among middle-aged and elderly men. Daily prevention of prostate hyperplasia should focus on the following points:1. Avoid sudden cold exposure and prevent colds and upper respiratory infections.
2. Do not hold urine; urinate as soon as you feel the urge, and drink less water at night.
3. Avoid prolonged sitting and inactivity, especially for office workers.
4. Reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, maintain regular bowel movements, and lower prostate pressure.
