Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like there's a lack of strength when urinating. The stream is very thin, and it even feels like I can't urinate properly. Could this be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, please advise: How can benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) include active surveillance, medication, surgery, and minimally invasive therapy. Avoid spicy foods, overexertion, and holding urine to prevent colds. Drink plenty of water, avoid prolonged sitting, and strictly avoid alcohol. Timely treatment is crucial for BPH patients, as it can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
