Patient's question:
I have always had a slight problem with frequent urination, especially with nocturia. I need to urinate many times before I can fall asleep during my nap, and I also need to go to the bathroom two or three times at night. It has also affected my sex life. A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and was told that it was due to benign prostatic hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
Hello! There are many causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which may be due to one or several factors. Conditions like untreated prostatitis, urethritis, cystitis, or seminal colliculus inflammation can cause the prostate to become congested and fibrotic, leading to hyperplasia. Excessive sexual activity and intercourse can also contribute to BPH. Additionally, lack of physical exercise, poor emotional state, prolonged urinary retention, and an unbalanced diet are all potential causes of BPH.BPH is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' recommendations for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, proper self-care and dietary management should be emphasized to avoid worsening the condition.
