Patient's question:
For two or three hours, I felt the urge to urinate, but the amount of urine was not very much. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, they said it was due to benign prostatic hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
The causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia are not entirely clear. The main causes are as follows:1. Frequent drug abuse or long-term alcohol consumption, as well as a diet high in spicy or irritating foods, can stimulate the proliferation of the prostate.
2. Lack of physical exercise makes arteries more prone to hardening, and poor local blood circulation in the prostate can also lead to this condition.
3. Chronic prostatitis that is not fully cured, or conditions such as urethritis, cystitis, or prostatic utricle inflammation, can cause congestion and fibrosis in prostate tissue.
4. Excessive sexual activity or intercourse leads to congestion in the sexual organs, and prolonged congestion can cause the prostate tissue to shrink.
