How to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) best

Patient's question:

Yesterday when I was using the restroom, it felt a bit rough, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder, and I also think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Could this be my benign prostatic hyperplasia flaring up again, causing pressure?
Question: What is the best way to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

Mild prostatic hyperplasia, asymptomatic or with very mild symptoms, requires irregular follow-up examinations and close monitoring. If the condition progresses, active treatment is necessary. Improving the condition can be achieved by changing lifestyle habits, such as increasing fluid intake, drinking fluids at regular intervals, avoiding alcohol and excessive caffeine consumption, etc. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
