What are the causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

I've been feeling unwell lately, with frequent urination and urgency. Tests revealed enlargement, and I'd like to consult about the causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, as men age, the prostate tends to undergo repeated hypertrophy and fibrosis. Additionally, if the prostate becomes inflamed, it can also become enlarged. Therefore, for your condition, it is best to first visit a hospital for examination to determine whether it is a case of prostatitis or prostatic hyperplasia. If it is prostatitis, early treatment should be initiated. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
