Prostate enlargement is rarely curable. Because prostate enlargement is a disease of the middle-aged and the elderly, a result of the body’s natural aging, medications and surgery can effectively control symptoms and slow the progression of the disease, but neither can cure it. Prostatic hyperplasia patients are usually treated with medication, 5α-reductase inhibitors can control the rate of prostate glandular hyperplasia; alpha-blockers can help to improve the patient’s urinary symptoms, and long-term medication can effectively control the progression of the disease and improve the quality of life. Usually, when medication is ineffective and severe urinary retention occurs, surgery will be used to treat the condition by removing part of the hyperplastic prostate gland and relieving the problem of poor urination. However, the prostate gland may also grow again after surgery, causing related symptoms, so prostate enlargement can rarely be cured. In daily life, it is recommended to abstain from alcohol, reduce the intake of spicy diet, and avoid cold, sedentary and standing for a long time, in order to minimize the stimulation to the prostate gland and avoid triggering the symptoms of poor urination caused by prostate enlargement.
