Patient's question:
When I went to the bathroom yesterday, it felt a bit uncomfortable, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder. Also, I think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Could this be due to my benign prostatic hyperplasia flaring up again, causing pressure?Question: How can benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated effectively?
Doctor's answer:
The treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is based on stabilizing urinary symptoms, alleviating complications, and protecting renal function. Daily attention should be paid to climate changes to prevent cold exposure, occupational infections, and the use of drugs, smoking, and spicy foods. It is important to reduce stress and maintain a calm mindset, drink water appropriately, and avoid holding urine. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination to clarify the condition and determine an appropriate treatment plan. BPH can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
