Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a thorough physical examination, but unfortunately, my reproductive organs had problems again. After the doctor's careful examination, he said it was benign prostatic hyperplasia. He asked if I wanted to take some medication, and if it was severe, surgery might be necessary. I've lived half my life, and I've still been paying attention to this aspect of personal health.Doctor's answer:
1) Hormonal effects. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is closely related to the endocrine imbalance of androgens and estrogens in the body. Testosterone is the primary male androgen, which is converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) under the action of enzymes. DHT is the active hormone that stimulates prostate hyperplasia.2) Unhealthy lifestyle habits. Nowadays, young people often have irregular living patterns, frequent drug use, and excessive consumption of spicy foods. These factors can lead to excessive stimulation of the prostate, resulting in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
3) Impact of sexual activity. Some young people have irregular sexual habits, limited sexual activity, and lack of physical exercise. Poor blood circulation in the prostate can easily cause congestion and subsequent fibrosis of prostate tissue.
