Mandy Prostatic hyperplasia may be caused by genetic factors, aging, hormone imbalance, inflammatory stimulation, poor lifestyle and other reasons.
1. Genetic factors
Prostatic hyperplasia tends to cluster in families. If there is a prostatic hyperplasia patient in an immediate family member, the risk of the disease may increase. Such patients usually present with symptoms such as difficulty urinating and frequent urination. You need to avoid sitting for long periods of time and reduce your intake of alcohol and spicy food.
2. Age growth
As men age, testosterone gradually converts into dihydrotestosterone, which stimulates prostate cell proliferation. The incidence rate increases significantly in men over 50 years old, accompanied by symptoms such as increased nocturia and thin urine stream. Changes in prostate volume can be monitored with regular physical examinations.
3. Hormone level imbalance
An imbalance in the ratio of androgens to estrogen may cause abnormal growth of prostate tissue. Patients may experience symptoms such as waiting to urinate and interrupted urination. Finasteride tablets, tamsulosin sustained-release capsules and other drugs are commonly used clinically to regulate hormone levels.
4. Inflammation stimulation
Recurrent episodes of chronic prostatitis can induce local tissue hyperplasia, manifesting as perineal swelling and pain combined with abnormal urination. Treatment requires controlling inflammation, such as using levofloxacin tablets, Qianlieshutong capsules, etc. as directed by the doctor, and avoiding holding in urine and catching cold.
5. Bad lifestyle
Factors such as long-term sitting, high-fat diet, and smoking may aggravate prostate congestion. When the symptoms are mild, they can be improved by increasing exercise and drinking more water. It is recommended to choose foods rich in antioxidants such as tomatoes and pumpkin seeds.
Patients with prostatic hyperplasia need to maintain a regular schedule, drink 1500-2000 ml of water every day, but limit fluid intake before going to bed and avoid alcohol and caffeine stimulation. Mild symptoms can enhance pelvic floor muscle function through Kegel exercises. Patients with moderate to severe symptoms should regularly review prostate-specific antigen and ultrasound, and if necessary, undergo transurethral prostatectomy or laser surgery as directed by the doctor. Pay attention to keeping warm in winter, eat a low-fat and high-fiber diet, and reduce activities that stress the perineum such as cycling.
