Patient's question:
Every time I urinate, it feels like there's some resistance. Recently, I've noticed the situation is getting worse. Sometimes the urine is very thin, and urination is quite difficult. It also causes some pain. Is it possible that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia? I would like to ask: How can I prevent the occurrence of benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is an adenomatous fibrosis of prostate cells surrounding the urinary tract, a common and frequently occurring disease among middle-aged and elderly men. Preventive measures for prostate hyperplasia in daily life should be noted, including timely warmth prevention, avoiding colds, and upper respiratory infections. Avoid holding urine; empty the bladder as soon as there is the urge, and drink less water at night. Prevent prolonged sitting and inactivity to reduce pressure on the prostate. The condition of prostate hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek professional and reputable medical treatment immediately, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be observed. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
