Does physical therapy encourage prostate growth?

Physical therapy does not induce prostate growth, but can play a role in treating prostate enlargement. Prostatic hyperplasia is a chronic and progressive disease in men, which may result in frequent urination, urgency and difficulty in urination. There are many ways to treat prostate enlargement, and physical therapy is a common one. Physical therapy for prostate enlargement may include radiofrequency ablation, ultrasound, infrared therapy and so on. Radiofrequency ablation causes necrosis of prostate tissue; ultrasound improves local blood and lymphatic circulation and relieves pain. Physical therapy is not the first choice of treatment for prostate enlargement, and treatment should be based on the actual condition after diagnosis. In addition to physical therapy, medication and surgery are also the main treatments.
