Patient's question:
To check and confirm the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia, I haven't had any significant symptoms during this period. Recently, I've felt abdominal fullness, and urination has been intermittent. I've been waking up frequently at night, and during the day, I've also experienced frequent and urgent urination. Does this mean my condition is serious? Please ask: How can I improve if I have benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common prostate disease, prevalent in middle-aged and elderly men. Due to recurrent inflammation of the prostate and endocrine dysfunction, it can lead to neurosis. It may also cause the inability to completely empty the urine, resulting in residual urine. Residual urine is an excellent medium for bacterial growth, and with damaged defense mechanisms of the bladder mucosa, it makes urinary tract infections such as pyelonephritis very likely. Spicy and irritating foods can both cause congestion in the sexual area and alleviate symptoms of hemorrhoids and hematuria, while also controlling the prostate and relieving difficulties in urination. Drinking alcohol can cause congestion and edema in the prostate and bladder neck, leading to urinary retention. Prostate hyperplasia can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment.
