Patient's question:
What is the reason for a slightly enlarged prostate? What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Hello, benign prostatic hyperplasia is often accompanied by prostatitis of varying degrees. Prostatic hyperplasia is a common disease among elderly men, and it can cause urethral obstruction. As the obstruction worsens, the amount of residual urine increases, and the effective capacity of the bladder decreases. If you do not currently experience any physical discomfort, you can avoid treatment. If you experience symptoms such as frequent urination or urgency, you can consider the following treatments: drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, eat more rough fiber foods, avoid alcohol, and do not consume spicy foods to prevent constipation. At the same time, it is important to adjust your mindset and actively follow your doctor's instructions for treatment and care.
