Patient's question:
Seeking advice: If the prostate is enlarged, what should be done? My friend has been diagnosed with prostate enlargement. What should be done? If one suffers from prostate enlargement, what should be done?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are several reasons that can lead to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), often associated with untreated prostatitis, frequent sexual activity, long-term alcohol consumption, and more. BPH is closely related to lifestyle habits, and it's important to seek timely treatment. I suggest your friend visit the urology department of a regular hospital for follow-up, take oral medication, and pay attention to weight control, avoid excessive sexual activity, quit smoking and drinking, maintain a regular schedule, and reduce meat intake. The condition of BPH tends to fluctuate, requiring long-term oral medication. It's essential to go to a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis immediately, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it's important to quit smoking and drinking and pay attention to personal hygiene.
