Patient's question:
Winter should be a high-incidence period for benign prostatic hyperplasia, right? May I ask: How can we prevent benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Pay special attention to the following points during winter. When going out, not only should you ensure that your underwear and thermal leggings are warm, dry, and comfortable, but you must also avoid sitting on cold benches, stone benches, or gym equipment in places like city gardens, parks, or residential gym areas, or even on rocks and steps when hiking. Prostate hyperplasia is a common and frequently occurring condition among elderly men in China, and its incidence has been increasing year by year. Elderly patients with prostate hyperplasia are prone to further deterioration of their condition during winter, often experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain. In severe cases, it can lead to acute retention, hydronephrosis, and even uremia, which may be life-threatening. Prostate hyperplasia can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow. During treatment, it is recommended to adopt healthy lifestyle habits and maintain a balanced diet, hoping that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
