What effective drugs are there to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

I was hospitalized for prostatitis a couple of years ago and later it didn't recur. This year, I'm taking medication for benign prostatic hyperplasia, but it hasn't healed on its own after a long time. So, I'd like to consult a doctor about whether there are any effective medications for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Doctor's answer:

In clinical diagnosis, there are several causes that can lead to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), such as prostatic infection, frequent sexual activity, etc. These factors can all contribute to the enlargement and hyperplasia of the prostate. Appropriate antibiotics can be administered for treatment, or the use of androgens can be adjusted. These methods have been shown to be effective in treating BPH. It is hoped that you will pay more attention to protecting male sexual function in the future, avoid harmful habits such as smoking and alcohol, engage in appropriate physical exercise, and enhance the body's disease resistance. The condition of BPH tends to recur.
