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 (BPH). I'm asking: How should the diagnosis and treatment proceed for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are generally prescribed Prazosin tablets for medication. Currently, the effect is not significant, which could be due to further progression of fibrosis, resulting in less effective medication. You can try traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as an alternative. If the effect is still not satisfactory, surgical treatment is still recommended. BPH can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, and avoiding prolonged sitting or riding are essential. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
