Patient's question:
My father is getting older now and always tells me he can't hold his urine. Sometimes he even wets his pants. I'm afraid it's a problem with his prostate, so I took my father to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor told me it's benign prostatic hyperplasia. I didn't give my father any medicine and wanted to go to a bigger hospital for a second opinion, but I still want to consult first: How is benign prostatic hyperplasia treated?Doctor's answer:
First, incomplete treatment of prostatitis leads to congestion and edema in the prostate, with local inflammatory substances accumulating, stimulating prostate hyperplasia. Second, inflammation of the urethra, bladder, and reproductive system can also cause prostate congestion on one hand and stimulate prostate hyperplasia on the other. Excessive congestion of the prostate, excessive sexual activity, and sexual arousal can significantly enhance congestion in the sexual organs. Over time, the prostate may also shrink due to persistent blood clots.
