How is benign prostatic hyperplasia treated?

Patient's question:

Diagnosed with chronic prostatitis at the beginning of this year, I had a thorough check-up recently, and it has now been confirmed as benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Doctor's answer:

The prostate is a male accessory gland, and the normal prostate weight of an adult male is about 20 grams. However, after the age of 45, some people's prostates may begin to develop fibrosis again. Based on current research, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) may be a normal physiological aging process rather than a true pathological disease. For patients with severe complications of BPH or poor response to medication, it is crucial to promptly decide on surgery or other treatments. Additionally, during the treatment period, the dietary condition and care of patients with BPH are also very important. Patients must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary injuries. I hope the above information can assist you. Thank you.
