Patient's question:
Can benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) be prevented? How is BPH treated? How can the prostate be prevented? If it can be prevented, what should be done on a daily basis? What are the preventive measures for BPH?Doctor's answer:
(1) Moderation in sexual activity: Avoid excess indulgence as well as frigidity.(2) Maintain a calm mindset: Stay cheerful, relax often, prevent worries and irritations, and avoid overexertion.
(3) Proper diet: Base your diet on light, easily digestible foods.
(4) Keep clean: The scrotum of males has high elasticity and excretes more sweat. Combined with poor ventilation in the groin area, it is prone to accumulating dirt and bacteria, making it easy for local bacteria to invade.
(5) Consume more zinc: The content of zinc is closely related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). A lack of zinc can increase the copper-zinc ratio in prostate tissue. BPH tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
