Patient's question:
Causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia. How to treat benign prostatic hyperplasiaDoctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is one of the common diseases among elderly men. Its etiology is relatively complex and may be related to hormonal imbalance, prolonged sitting with urine retention, excessive masturbation, changes in prostate tissue itself, drug abuse, or long-term consumption of spicy foods. Generally, mild fibrosis without discomfort does not require treatment. If urinary abnormalities reappear, oral Prostamol tablets or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for treatment.In daily life, attention should be paid to self-care. Regular exercise is recommended, avoiding cycling, horseback riding, prolonged sitting with urine retention, wearing tight underwear, maintaining hygiene of the external genitalia, refraining from masturbation, and maintaining a harmonious sexual life. These measures help regulate hormonal balance and reduce fibrosis.
