Patient's question:
Please ask the doctor if benign prostatic hyperplasia can cause occult blood in a urine test.Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement generally does not cause hidden blood. It is more likely caused by inflammation, but tumor factors cannot be completely ruled out. An ultrasound and cystoscopy can be performed for examination.In the early stages of prostate enlargement, patients may experience sexual desire that is out of sync with their age, or they may have always had normal sexual desire but suddenly become more intense. This is due to the proliferation of prostate tissue, which disrupts prostate function and leads to a temporary enhancement of testicular function through feedback. Sexual activity can worsen prostate enlargement, as it keeps the prostate in a state of prolonged congestion, which can cause and exacerbate the condition.
