Patient's question:
I am only 34 years old this year, from Hebei. A few days ago, when I was using the restroom, I felt like I had urine waiting to come out, and there was a split in my stream. I also often went to the restroom at night. The hospital did a thorough examination and said it was benign prostatic hyperplasia. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Causes of Prostate Hyperplasia and Enlargement】(1) Inflammatory Stimulation: First, incomplete treatment of prostatitis leads to congestion and edema in the prostate, with local inflammatory substances accumulating and stimulating prostate hyperplasia. Second, inflammation of the urethra, bladder, and reproductive system can cause congestion in the prostate on one hand and also stimulate its hyperplasia on the other.
(2) Excessive Prostate Congestion: Excessive sexual activity or sexual arousal can significantly enhance congestion in the sexual organs. Over time, the prostate may also shrink due to persistent blood clots. Consuming spicy, acidic, or other irritating foods, as well as alcoholism, can also lead to congestion and fibrosis in the prostate.
【Treatment for Prostate Hyperplasia】
There are several treatment methods for prostate hyperplasia, which can be broadly categorized into surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment.
