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 can benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Urinary retention caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostatitis, including weak urination, thinning of the urine stream, and dribbling, can be examined with ultrasound, checked for bladder residual urine symptoms. In daily life, it is important to avoid getting cold, completely avoid alcohol, eat less spicy food, never hold in urine, prevent prolonged sitting, and drink plenty of water. Timely treatment is necessary: it is important to promptly and thoroughly treat conditions such as prostatitis, cystitis, and ureteral stones. Priligy (Tadalafil) can be taken, but the most definitive treatment is surgical removal of the prostate. The condition of benign prostatic hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should actively seek professional and reputable medical treatment, considering treatment options based on examination results. Proper diet and avoiding sexual activity are also important. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
