Is prostate enlargement in middle-aged and elderly people a disease?

  Many middle-aged and elderly people believe that prostate enlargement is a physiological aging phenomenon, not a disease. This is why clinically, only about 1/3 of patients come to the clinic, and even fewer get standardized treatment.  The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have a lot of money to spend on their own. In fact, benign prostatic hyperplasia is a progressive disease that has to be controlled by insisting on taking medication to shrink the volume of the prostate under the guidance of a professional doctor. This can reduce the incidence of acute urinary retention and surgery and can prevent the need for surgical treatment in about half of the patients suffering from BPH. The other is over-treatment, where drugs are available to control prostatic hyperplasia but surgery is performed, causing unnecessary pain to the patient.  Therefore, the treatment of BPH should be timely, and the treatment means should be reasonable and standardized, while science education should be provided to patients.
