Patient's question:
Doctor, I am currently 40 years old. In this period, I have been feeling uncomfortable with my two prostate glands. I went to the hospital for a check-up and found that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. I would like to ask you, what should I do about benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a relatively common urological disorder. Once detected, active treatment is necessary. If it is not too severe, medication is generally sufficient to address the issue. However, it is essential to prevent factors that can lead to fibrosis from recurring. It is important to drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, avoid prolonged sitting, and not hold in urine. Sexual activity is permissible, but it must not be too frequent, as this can easily exacerbate symptoms. Prostate hyperplasia can be managed, but treatment typically takes a long time, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used specifically to address the symptoms during treatment.
