Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'm wondering if the prostate could cause an embolism in the arteries?Doctor's answer:
According to your current condition, generally speaking, if you discuss benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostatitis, this situation will never cause arterial embolism. If arterial embolism reoccurs, it is more likely due to the presence of atherosclerosis followed by the rupture of plaques, leading to arterial embolism. It is often associated with conditions such as hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension.
