Patient's question:
What are the causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia? What are the causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is closely related to the endocrine imbalance of androgens and estrogens in the body. Testosterone is the main androgen in men, and under the action of enzymes, it is converted into dihydrotestosterone, which is the active hormone that stimulates prostate hyperplasia.2) Unhealthy lifestyle habits. Nowadays, young people have irregular lifestyles, frequent drug use, and often attend banquets, as well as consuming spicy foods. All of these can lead to excessive stimulation of the prostate, causing prostate hyperplasia.
3) The impact of sexual activity. Some young people have irregular sexual habits, frequent masturbation, and lack of physical exercise. This results in poor blood circulation in the prostate, making it easy for the prostate tissue to become congested and leading to recurrent prostate hyperplasia.
