It is important to receive treatment early for prostate enlargement.
They said that in the early stages, which are not severe, treatment with medication is sufficiently effective.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is common among older individuals.

Many people are reluctant to visit the urology department, so they tend to go to the hospital only when their condition worsens.

Since the condition has significantly worsened and surgical treatment is necessary upon hospital visit, early treatment is crucial.

Fortunately, your father is in the early stage and is receiving medication treatment without surgical intervention.

Prevention methods for prostate enlargement

If you tend to sit for long periods, you should avoid crossing your legs at least, as this compresses the prostate.

This is not only important for men but also a very important lifestyle habit for women.

In cold winter, since prostate health function decreases, it is important to keep the body temperature warm.
The hospital said that it is good to do sitz baths every 3 to 4 days, but they also mentioned that doing it about once a week can still be effective.

It is best to avoid fatty meats as much as possible.

My father mainly eats soy meat, which is literally made from soybeans, and he says it tastes good and is nutritious.

✅ Tomatoes, green tea, and garlic are good for prostate health, so please consume them regularly.

Please do Kegel exercises, which involve tightening and relaxing the sphincter muscle, whenever you have free time.

✅ Do not hold in your urine regularly.
Holding urine for a long time weakens the function of the bladder and surrounding muscles, leading to urination problems.
Pelvic muscles can become tense, leading to prostatitis or chronic pelvic pain.

You should also be careful about the habit of riding a bicycle for a long time.
The prostate can become swollen and enlarged due to continuous pressure, and it is said that it can also cause prostatitis by compressing the urethra...

There is also a way to ride a bicycle by changing your posture while riding or taking breaks intermittently.

My father eats soy meat. He doesn't eat grilled meat, mainly prefers boiled meat or soy meat.

I have experienced suffering from cystitis.

As women age, their bladder area tends to weaken, and men also experience weakening around the prostate area.

The doctor said that it should be understood as a type that occurs during the aging process.

Since your father and mother are also with you, I told you to consistently manage your health, pay attention to proper exercise and diet habits, and it will get better. Fortunately, your father is now improving a lot by undergoing medication treatment and improving his exercise and diet habits.
