How to care after benign prostatic hyperplasia surgery?

Patient's question:

I am 32 years old. During a health check-up at my workplace, I was carefully diagnosed with mild benign prostatic hyperplasia. I would like to know, is this condition serious? How should I take care of myself after BPH surgery?

Doctor's answer:

After the initial period of prostate hyperplasia surgery, a catheter needs to be placed for urination. As the condition recovers, the catheter should be gradually removed to prevent infection caused by prolonged placement. If the elderly are currently undergoing catheterization, attention should be paid to local hygiene, regular sterilization, and increased fluid intake to prevent urinary tract infections. Prostate hyperplasia can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment, appropriate medication, and a light diet are essential. Patients should avoid stimulating foods, smoking, and drinking beer. It is hoped that male patients can recover quickly.
