Patient's question:
I recently don't know why I feel extremely uncomfortable downstairs, and I also don't have morning erections anymore. Could you please tell me what causes benign prostatic hyperplasia and how to treat it?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is relatively complicated and not easy to manage. This is because the prostate is enclosed by a capsule, and its blood supply is relatively poor. As a result, medications struggle to penetrate the prostate tissue, leading to suboptimal treatment outcomes. It is recommended to consider microwave therapy, which can be somewhat effective. You may want to look into this option. As most people are aware, prostate enlargement can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment promptly. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues—avoiding irritant foods and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up appointments may be necessary when needed.
