How to recover from an enlarged prostate

If the prostate is slightly enlarged and there are no obvious symptoms, it may not need to be treated. Because the hypertrophy of the male prostate has two crucial factors, one is the normal functioning of the male testicles, and the other is the growth of age, which makes the male prostate gradually hypertrophy. Therefore, if the prostate is slightly enlarged, in order to repair the shrinkage, anti-androgen drugs can be used for treatment, such as finasteride and other therapeutic drugs, which can inhibit the metabolism and production of male hormones, prevent the male prostate from continuing to hypertrophy, but at the same time it may also cause a decrease in libido and even loss of male sexual function.

Causes of prostate hyperplasia

Lack of exercise

If we do not exercise regularly, the blood in the prostate area will immediately become non-circulatory, which can easily lead to prostate hyperplasia.

Frequently holding urine

If you often hold your urine, it will cause the urine to accumulate gradually. If you drink less water, some toxins in the urine will accumulate gradually, which can easily damage the prostate and cause prostate hyperplasia.

Not paying attention to diet

Under normal circumstances, if you do not pay attention to your diet, always like to eat spicy food, or often smoke and drink, it is easy to stimulate the prostate, if it takes a long time, it is easy to cause prostate hyperplasia.

Other inflammation

If you suffer from some inflammation, such as cystitis, urethritis, etc., if the inflammation is not treated in time, it will cause prostate hyperplasia symptoms if you keep holding it.

What to do if you have prostate hyperplasia

1. Medication treatment

Due to the unique physiological structure and location of prostate hyperplasia, the actual effect of drug treatment is minimal, and basically ineffective.

2. Conservative therapy

Conservative treatment is suitable for patients with mild urinary tract obstruction, or those who are elderly, frail, or have heart failure and cannot tolerate surgical treatment.

3. Surgery

Treatments for this type of prostate hyperplasia include radical prostatectomy and traditional surgical treatment, bilateral orchiectomy or enucleation.

4. Laser surgery

In the treatment of prostate hyperplasia, laser can vaporize the hyperplastic male prostate tissue through optical fibers under the guidance of an electronic endoscope to achieve the treatment goal.
