Doctor's answer:
Hello! Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease among elderly men. Its causes are varied and may be related to hormonal imbalance, prolonged sitting, prolonged urinary retention, spicy diet, and changes in prostate tissue itself. If the hyperplasia is not severe and does not affect urination, treatment may not be necessary. If there are urinary abnormalities, medication can be used first. If it is ineffective, surgery can be considered.In daily life, it is important to exercise regularly, avoid prolonged sitting and urinary retention, not ride bicycles or horses, maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, avoid masturbation, and maintain a regular sexual life, which is beneficial for reducing hyperplasia. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and smoking completely.
