Does long-term medication for benign prostatic hyperplasia have side effects?

Patient's question:

Is it good for the body to take long-term medication for the prostate?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, Condition Analysis: Prostatitis is a common disease in men, and there are many causes of prostatitis. Long-term irritation from standing or sitting for extended periods, excessive smoking, alcohol consumption, and spicy/stimulating foods, as well as conditions like excessive sexual activity, frequent masturbation, or exposure to unsafe sexual practices, can all contribute to it. The treatment principle involves using antibiotics combined with physical therapy to accelerate drug penetration and achieve rapid treatment. Maintenance should focus on a light and easily digestible diet.
Suggestions: Prioritize a diet rich in vegetables and fruits while minimizing spicy and stimulating foods. Quit smoking and alcohol to reduce the risk of prostate congestion. Maintain a normal sex life according to individual circumstances—neither indulging excessively nor refraining too much. Avoid holding urine for long periods and promptly treat any urinary or genital infections.
