Patient's question:
The physical examination at the unit revealed that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia, and I am very nervous. Please ask: How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
This benign prostatic hyperplasia, if it's just simple fibrosis and hasn't affected urination, can be managed without rigorous treatment. If there are symptoms of frequent urination, symptomatic medication can be taken orally. Symptomatic treatment is crucial for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia—timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of complications, whereas delayed treatment may impact overall health. Therefore, patients should promptly take symptomatic medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
