What is male benign prostatic hyperplasia

Patient's question:

What is male benign prostatic hyperplasia

Doctor's answer:

Prostate hyperplasia is the abbreviation for "benign prostatic hyperplasia," previously known as "benign prostatic hypertrophy." Strictly speaking, prostate hyperplasia is primarily an increase in the number of cells that make up the prostate, rather than an enlargement in cell volume.
In normal men, prostate hyperplasia in its early stages generally does not cause any discomfort. It can even be said that the hyperplasia progresses quietly. Only when the hyperplasia reaches a certain extent and compresses the ureter or other conditions arise will it cause a series of urinary symptoms.
Advice:
Prevent exposure to cold, prevent infections, avoid excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, and spicy foods. Drink water appropriately, avoid holding urine. The reasons for prolonged non-healing may include incomplete treatment or non-standardized treatment. If symptoms appear, it is recommended to seek a detailed examination at a formal urology department in a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment.
