Patient's question:
Actually, it wasn't very serious at first. It was just that every time I urinated, I felt a bit of resistance. Recently, I've noticed the situation is getting worse. Sometimes the urine is very thin, and urination is quite difficult, with some pain involved. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said it's benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). I'm asking: What are the nursing measures for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate Hyperplasia Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease among elderly men, with onset typically occurring after the age of 50. As age increases, the incidence rate gradually declines, making it a frequent condition in urology. Treating prostate hyperplasia is a long-term process. Once diagnosed, patients must follow medical advice for medication, absolutely avoiding self-discontinuation or reduction of dosage. Regular follow-up examinations should be conducted to adjust treatment plans as needed based on the condition. Additionally, in terms of diet and daily life, it is important to avoid foods and alcohol, pay attention to preventing colds, and refrain from intense physical activity.
