Patient's question:
Can a 17-year-old have benign prostatic hyperplasia? I have had sexual intercourse for 3 years, leading to prostatitis, and I am unaware if I have benign prostatic hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
Frequent and long-term sexual intercourse may potentially lead to premature ejaculation, kidney deficiency, prostatitis, and urinary system diseases. For teenagers, it may also interfere with growth and development. At your age, you are generally unlikely to experience benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), but long-term sexual activity can lead to the aforementioned issues. It is recommended to abstain from sexual intercourse, adopt a positive attitude, engage in regular physical activity, and divert your attention. In addition to seeking timely treatment for BPH, patients should maintain a positive mindset to face the disease. Only in this way can we boost the patient's immunity and their belief in combating the illness. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to dietary care and ensure a balanced nutrition, allowing the body to absorb nutrients promptly. It is believed that this approach can help drive BPH away.
