Patient's question:
Hello doctor! I have a friend who is quite intelligent and wants to have a child. Usually, there's nothing wrong with her, but yesterday, after a thorough medical examination at the hospital, the doctor said I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. I'm only 20 years old, and I'm very worried about the potential serious harm this condition could cause.Doctor's answer:
Edit this section Causes of onset Fibrosis refers to the reduction in the volume of tissues or organs due to the continuous increase in the number of cells, which is a result of increased cell mitotic activity caused by various reasons of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The human prostate is no exception. From birth to before puberty, the growth and development of the prostate are slow; after puberty, the growth rate slows down, and it reaches its peak of development around the age of 24. Between the ages of 30 and 45, its volume remains relatively stable. Afterward, a small portion of people tend to expand, while the gland volume decreases in another small portion, which may tend to fibrosis, leading to a gradual reduction in gland volume. If the prostate urethra is significantly obstructed, it can cause bladder outlet obstruction and recurrence of symptoms related to difficulty urinating, which is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia.
