Patient's question:
Yesterday when I was using the restroom, it felt a bit uncomfortable, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder. Also, I think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Could this be my benign prostatic hyperplasia flaring up again, causing pressure?Question: What should I do if I have benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Doctor's answer:
Hello! There are many reasons that can lead to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), often associated with incomplete resolution of prostatitis, frequent sexual activity, long-term alcohol consumption, and more. BPH is closely related to lifestyle habits, and timely treatment is necessary. It is recommended that your friend visit the urology department of a regular hospital for follow-up, take oral medication, and pay attention to controlling weight, avoiding overly frequent sexual activity, quitting smoking and drinking, maintaining a regular schedule, and not consuming excessive meat. The condition of BPH tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and regular hospital, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
