Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like there's a lack of 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, what are the best methods for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
(1) Avoid hard liquor, reduce consumption of spicy, greasy, and sweet foods, limit coffee intake, and eat less citrus fruits and citrus juices with high acidity, as well as reduce the intake of refined sugar and white flour;(2) Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and soy products. Consume honey regularly to maintain smooth bowel movements. Eat plenty of beef and eggs;
(3) Consume seed-based foods, such as pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds, daily without restriction on quantity;
(4) Green beans can be cooked into a porridge and eaten freely after cooling. This is especially suitable for those with heat in the bladder and difficulty urinating;
(5) Do not increase water intake due to frequent urination, as more water can help dissolve urine;
(6) Engage in sufficient physical activity, maintain a calm mindset, and maintain a harmonious sexual life.
