Benign prostatic hyperplasia can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used symptomatically. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and have a proper diet during the treatment period.
