Patient's question:
Men, as they age, often experience some issues with the prostate gland. Fibrosis is a very common problem for us, and sometimes we want to prevent it but don't know how to do so. Recently, a colleague I worked with told me that running is good for prostate enlargement. Is that really true?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is generally caused by prostatitis. It is also a degenerative inflammation, meaning that as one ages, different degrees of prostatitis and prostate hyperplasia may reappear. The main symptoms include frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination. It can be treated with medication and surgery. Exercise can also be helpful, although the effect may not be very significant, but it is still beneficial for the body. The condition of prostate hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
