Hello, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy, is a common disease among elderly men, with onset typically occurring after the age of 50. The incidence rate increases with age and has become a common condition in urology. Its main symptoms are progressive urinary difficulties and frequent nocturia. For the treatment of this disease, if the patient's symptoms are severe and their overall health condition is good, surgical treatment is often considered. However, it is also crucial to maintain proper lifestyle management, such as: exercising regularly, avoiding prolonged sitting and holding urine, drinking plenty of water, keeping a relaxed mood, maintaining regular sexual activity, quitting smoking and alcohol, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
