What are the precautions for benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

I have been frequently thinking about going to the toilet recently, but each time the amount of urine is not much. I have to get up several times at night, which interferes with the quality of my deep sleep. I always feel very tired. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the result was benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Expected help: What are the precautions for benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

Urinary stream is split, with a feeling of incomplete urination. If intestinal obstruction is further relieved, the patient must enhance abdominal pressure to assist urination. Breathing affects the amount of abdominal pressure, leading to recurring urinary interruption and dribbling.
1. Diet should be light and easy to digest, with more emphasis on vegetables and fruits, while minimizing spicy and irritating foods. Abstain from alcohol to increase blood flow to the prostate.
2. Regarding sexual activity, neither overindulgence nor abstinence is advisable.
3. Try to ride a bicycle as little as possible, as the bicycle seat exerts pressure on the upper part of the urethra and prostate, potentially alleviating the condition.
