Patient's question:
I am 34 years old, male. Recently, I have been experiencing discomfort when urinating, sometimes with lower back pain and a bloated abdomen. After a thorough examination, it was found that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. Please ask if there are any effective methods for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia are primarily manifested in two groups: one group is bladder irritation symptoms, and the other is obstructive symptoms caused by fibrotic prostate blocking the urinary tract. Adjusting lifestyle appropriately includes moderating water intake, avoiding excessive consumption of caffeine and alcohol-containing beverages; it is necessary to understand how patients may take diuretics and other medications that could interfere with urination symptoms and adjust them accordingly. When the patient's condition progresses again, active intervention should be implemented. During treatment, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
