Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like I lack strength when urinating. The stream is very thin, and I even feel like I can't urinate properly. Is this a sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia? If so, could you please tell me: How can benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a condition characterized by the non-malignant fibrosis of various cellular components of the prostate, leading to an enlarged prostate. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for an ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis. If diagnosed, you can take Finasteride tablets under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. When necessary, you may also take traditional Chinese medicine such as Pulegan tablets or Qianmao Shutong capsules.In addition to timely treatment for prostate enlargement, patients should also pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic effect.
