What is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)?

Patient's question:

Lower body feels uncomfortable, after a careful examination, the doctor said it is due to an enlarged prostate. I would like to ask what is the disease of an enlarged prostate?

Doctor's answer:

Prostate enlargement is a common urological condition diagnosed in clinical practice. It is primarily caused by chronic inflammation, cold exposure, prolonged sitting or standing, smoking, drinking beer, and other lifestyle and dietary habits. The enlargement can lead to narrowing of the bladder outlet and the urethral meatus, resulting in symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, incomplete urination, difficulty urinating, and reduced sexual function. Active treatment should be initiated to prevent the condition from worsening and recurring, thereby avoiding the impact on normal training and daily life.
