Patient's question:
I am 35 years old this year. A few days ago, I felt very uncomfortable. When I went to the toilet, I felt pain in my genital area. I didn't know what was happening, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said this was due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. I feel that my lifestyle is still quite good, so how could I suddenly get this disease?Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement is now clinically referred to as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common and frequently occurring urological disease, primarily seen in middle-aged and elderly men over the age of 50. The prostate is one of the male-specific urinary and reproductive organs. One of the main functions of the prostate is to control urination. The causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia are diverse and relatively complex. Current research has found that age and the presence of functional testes are the main causes of BPH.
