Patient's question:
These days, I don't know what's wrong, but I always feel a strong urge to urinate. However, when I go to the toilet, it feels like there isn't much urine. Sometimes, it's just a drop or two. During morning urination, I even noticed that my stream was split. After consulting, it seems to be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. I would like to ask: How should I properly treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Prostatic calcification and fibrosis are scars left behind after the prostate gland undergoes inflammation and scarring again, serving as a precursor to prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi are often accompanied by chronic prostatitis. Bacteria can easily grow on calcified (fibrotic) stones, making them a reason for recurrent prostatitis that should not be ignored. If there are no symptoms, it can be left alone for now. However, when necessary, a prostatic fluid examination can be conducted to assess the condition of the prostate. It is important to quit smoking and drinking, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, drink more water, urinate frequently, clean the urinary tract, and eliminate pathogenic bacteria. Overexertion, prolonged sitting, and sexual activity should be restrained.
