Benign Prostate Hyperplasia: A Personal Journey to Freedom from the Disease

Since childhood, I was raised with the principle: only a doctor can heal. It is easy to think this way, especially when one enjoys stable health and has no reason to visit a hospital. But as one reaches mature age, the body begins to fail. At this point, a visit to a clinic becomes unavoidable.

Diagnostics and Medical Assistance

Diagnostics are among humanity’s greatest inventions. Detecting a disease at an early stage makes it undeniably easier to overcome. Endless gratitude is owed to those who dedicate themselves to this branch of medicine. Their sometimes selfless work prolongs the lives of millions…

• Hello, doctor! I have my test results with me. Please take a look.
• M… Yes, you have clear symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and treatment is inevitable. You are a bit young, but nowadays, my dear sir, this is not uncommon. Here is your prescription. Please take the medications exactly as directed. I expect to see you in three to four weeks…
• Good day! I’ve come for a follow-up. After taking the prescribed medications, I haven’t noticed any significant improvement.
• Really?! Anything is possible. Well, let’s adjust the prescription…

The same period passes.

• Greetings, everything is the same. Honestly, tell me, if not in your clinic, maybe somewhere else they use the most advanced methods for treating BPH. Do such methods exist?
• That’s pointless. You do not know about the changes that have occurred at the cellular level. Please retake the tests.
• Excuse me, but this is another waste of a significant amount of money. I don’t have any spare cash.
• Well, what do you expect? To be honest, medicine is not always strong. Questions like “can the prostate be cured?” often remain unanswered by official doctors.

Through such a banal dialogue filled with worn-out phrases, the author—and likely many men suffering from BPH or other prostate-related symptoms—passed. Of course, I could be mistaken. There is a category of people who, after a single failed attempt at visiting a doctor, never return.

Useless Advertising and Pharmaceutical Irresponsibility

There is a disease, so let’s quickly offer a drug for it. And there are countries where it can be sold without consequences. This is how large pharmaceutical companies think. Thus emerge the so-called treatments—or more accurately, pills that will never help anyone. After passing bureaucratic approvals handled by officials who put on an important air and exist mainly to be paid, the pseudo-remedy ends up on the pharmacy shelf. The pharmacy owner sells it because that is his business. The doctor prescribes it based on the pharmacy assortment and … advertising. The cycle ends with the patient.

In relatively civilized societies with humane constitutions and laws, an absurd situation has developed. Someone legally sells pharmacological drugs for treatment but takes no responsibility for the outcome. Society is simply hypnotized by this irresponsibility. The patient goes to the pharmacy, knowing no other solution, buys the drug, undergoes ineffective treatment, and later resigns psychologically, saying: “Well, it didn’t work; it happens.” Meanwhile, the so-called “manufacturers” count their enormous profits. People develop a tendency to accept the side effects of aging and to face each subsequent illness as inevitable.

Interaction with doctors temporarily ceases.

Fraudsters and Psychics—A Waste of Time

Here, on the “horizon,” appear all kinds of brazen fraudsters where they are not prohibited. Their faces reveal their past: some were shell-game operators, others con artists. In their lives, they have never lifted anything heavier than a stack of banknotes. Reality and impunity led them to a highly profitable idea—to become pseudo-doctors. Their approach is simple: using television, the internet, press, radio, and personal interaction, they scare people by claiming prostate disease is complex and dangerous, that the pain is mild compared to what awaits, yet there is a solution. Their potion. It is not called medicine because registering it would be too expensive, yet it supposedly defeats BPH and cures chronic prostatitis almost immediately. The remedy was developed by unknown scientists in a country where science no longer exists. Over the phone, these swindlers diagnose you, explain the cause, and insist you must not waste a minute; you must urgently … not treat, but pay. This is somewhat sobering.

And it gets worse. Visits to psychics, usually living far away, as so-called healers.

Purchasing uniquely advertised devices, seemingly made by serious manufacturers, aimed at preventing and treating BPH, repeated attempts at folk remedies…

As they say, the absence of a result is also a result.

Alternating Unsuccessful Attempts at Treatment

Again, the search for a doctor. One must see the most experienced specialist. Find the best in the city; maybe he will help. Alternating attempts: traditional medicine, self-treatment (someone said it helped someone somewhere). There are some very potent drugs that alleviate this growing discomfort. But even their names make one feel nauseous. What stage of impotence do they induce? What side effects do they have on the body overall? All attempts end in failure. How tired I am of this dull pain and all kinds of side complications. The bathroom has become the most unpleasant place. Visiting it depresses me for a long time. What next? Humbly await surgical intervention. After surgery, infertility may occur—but so what, these are not the years they used to be. There is a high probability of impotence. This worries me; it is too early. Surgeons do not mention the most important point: surgery may not stop the growth of BPH. There is also a risk of fatal outcomes. That is frightening. Of course, one could switch to a healthy lifestyle, but I have no proper knowledge about it.

Stop! I must tell myself the truth. After all, this is the voice of my laziness. It drives me alternately to the hospital or the TV, seeking a solution that requires minimal effort. Take a pill and be healthy. This diagnosis does not allow such shortcuts; I have learned this repeatedly. Laziness gradually leads to irreversible consequences and may even destroy. This vice can never be defeated in any body. Its influence can only be weakened or intensified. Lacking knowledge, I will search; having life experience, I will cautiously experiment on myself and must learn to listen to my body, to analyze each day, week, and month. This is important.

It is necessary to overcome depression, stop being angry at doctors and the world. One must calm down. Diseases cannot thrive outside of stress. In the end, I am myself to blame for being sick with this hateful BPH.

Overcoming Oneself

At the start of my battle with the disease, the scales weighed my laziness and complete ignorance on one side, and on the other, only fear of future complications and despair. Interesting counterweights! Naturally, everything was far from being in my favor.

Later, my mind was tormented by dozens of questions: how, why.

How can the disease be defeated? Why didn’t the medications help? Why does my condition worsen after a sedentary day off? I needed to devise special exercises to warm up the pelvic area. Which ones? Why does improvement occur only after moderate physical activity combined with relaxation, and in no other way? How should one change their lifestyle?

Stages of Recovery

First Weeks: Exacerbation and Self-Work

The first two weeks of practice brought only exacerbation. Perhaps I was doing something wrong. It was necessary not only to work on myself but also to think carefully.

Second Month: Faint Optimism and Knowledge

The second month. Alongside fear appeared faint optimism and a small amount of knowledge. Things did not worsen. Yesterday I felt reasonably well; today—disappointment. Once again, I had to fight the depressive state.

Third Month: New Diet and Habits

The third month of searching. How much I resisted changing my diet! Anything, just not altering the routine I had long been used to. Yes, I tried to avoid it for a long time. It seemed I would never rid myself of dietary illusions, and life would turn into torture. Yet, the painful sensations associated with BPH were firmly imprinted in my memory, leaving no choice. Soon it became clear that all changes were completely painless. After dinner, an irresistible desire arose to collapse on the couch with a newspaper or watch television. This was a temptation—the voice of my laziness again. But I had to persist. Good results appeared. The signs of the disease faded. Life was not as gray as it had seemed in recent years. And the horizon of old age could be pushed back—if only the desire existed.

Fourth Month: Significant Victories!

The fourth month of fighting for health. During a conversation, a urologist mentioned that visiting the toilet once per night is normal at my age. I achieved this result. Now I could defy the disease as I wished. It had become weak and powerless before me; there was no need for weighing scales. I felt I had defeated it and would not tolerate it returning. Knowledge, experience, and a trained body destroyed it. Nothing could stop me now.

The most useful purchase for improving treatment was a food steamer. But the whole family enjoyed it. Nevertheless, with strong will, one could manage without this purchase.

Fifth Month: Progress and Joy of Life

The fifth month. The body obeyed the will of the mind unfailingly. I show no signs of the disease called benign prostatic hyperplasia. I no longer woke at night to use the toilet. The last time this happened was just under four years ago. If modern medicine calls this state a remission—so be it. But remission without a healthy lifestyle had never occurred. Such were the characteristics of my BPH. I wanted to sing loudly and beautifully. This is happiness—excuse the bluntness—not feeling my bladder. I feel I have created a miracle for myself and have every right to consciously enjoy it.

Almost half a year had passed. What joy there is in the fullness of health! And the rules by which I now live do not hinder me at all.

A Bit of Philosophy

Evening falls. Rain pours outside the window. The television quietly runs in the background. During commercial breaks, lies flow almost continuously. They are replaced by a popular talk show, where for years almost the same people discuss how to start living better—but without doing anything—and where to find justice, which does not exist. The participants play the roles of defenders of law and order perfectly. One must not forget that this is only a show, and at its conclusion, their façades will be exposed. We live in such times that, if I were suddenly deaf and mute, I would not regret it at my age; I would be healthier. Everything has already been said and heard before. We learn less about the good and more about problems and negativity.

For me, however, this worldview has long ceased to be interesting. Where is my favorite and convenient windbreaker? I will take a walk. I now enjoy all kinds of weather….
