How are the common methods for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia handled?

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 a bit of pain. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said it's benign prostatic hyperplasia. I'm asking: What are the common methods for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

Prostate hyperplasia is the same as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which can cause symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, nocturia, incontinence, and hematuria. It is generally treated with medication. If medication affects the kidneys, surgical removal of the prostate may be necessary. Sexual activity should be moderate—neither excessive nor frigid. A proper diet with balanced nutrition and controlling the intake of high-fat, high-calorie foods can comprehensively prevent the recurrence of BPH. For patients with BPH, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely treatment based on their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
