Patient's question:
Causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia, how to treat hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
In the early stage of benign prostatic hyperplasia, its etiology is often influenced by factors such as frequent sexual activity, chronic prostatitis, prostate hyperplasia, smoking and alcohol consumption, medications, endocrine imbalances, endocrine disorders, and increased male hormone levels, among others. The early clinical manifestations are commonly seen as follows:1. Frequent urination, especially increased nocturia, where patients may urinate 2 to 5 times or more per night, with increased urine volume;
2. Difficulty urinating, delayed urination, thin urine flow, and intermittent urination;
3. Hematuria (blood in urine);
4. Hypersexuality (increased libido).
If the condition progresses unchecked, it may lead to acute urinary retention, where the patient is completely unable to urinate. It is recommended to seek medical attention early for related examinations of the prostate and endocrine system, while also avoiding alcohol and irritating foods that may affect urination.
