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 early symptoms should be aware of for benign prostatic hyperplasia, and what methods can be used to solve it?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis is best approached with a combination of Eastern and Western medicine. First, use antibiotics for 7-14 days, then follow up with traditional Chinese medicine for stabilization. The treatment of prostatitis must be systematic and follow a course-based approach to achieve complete self-healing. During the treatment period, drink plenty of water, avoid prolonged sitting or riding, refrain from consuming foods, do not smoke or drink beer, and maintain a regular sexual life. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a formal hospital.In addition to medication, I recommend a physical therapy called warm Sitz bath: Pour about 40% water (enough that your hand does not feel too hot) into a basin, filling it about halfway. Sit in the bath for 10-30 minutes each time. When the water temperature drops, add more hot water to maintain an effective temperature. Do this 1-2 times a day, with 10 days constituting one course. This helps in the discharge of inflammatory secretions.
Prostatitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication.
