Patient's question:
When eating continuously for several months, I always felt severe abdominal pain every time I urinated. Sometimes I also had frequent urination. Later, after a thorough examination, I found out that I had benign prostatic hyperplasia. I was worried about how it would affect my future sex life, so I wanted to know if benign prostatic hyperplasia affects sex life?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia generally does not significantly affect sexual life, as it primarily manifests as urinary symptoms, although it can cause discomfort. Therefore, when prostate hyperplasia reoccurs, it is essential to actively seek treatment and maintain a positive mindset. Additionally, regular exercise should be incorporated into daily life to reduce autoimmune function, thereby minimizing the recurrence of symptoms. The condition of prostate hyperplasia tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication for management.
