Can men with benign prostatic hyperplasia have sex life?

Patient's question:

My prostate is 4.5×3.5×3.0. Daytime urination is normal, but I need to urinate twice at night, and it feels like the urination takes a long time with a sense of incomplete emptying. Is this normal? Why don't I experience this during the day? I am 67 years old and have sexual activity every five or six days. Is it advisable to do so?

Doctor's answer:

Frequent nocturnal urination is a typical symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). As BPH worsens, it can affect urination, leading to difficulties in urination, a feeling of incomplete emptying, and increased nocturnal urination. It is recommended to seek active treatment to prevent the urinary tract from becoming increasingly obstructed. At your age, having sexual desires once a week is normal. In addition to symptomatic treatment for prostate enlargement, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
