Patient's question:
Actually, it wasn't very serious at first. It was just that every time I urinated, I felt a bit of resistance. Recently, I've noticed the condition is getting worse. Sometimes the urine is very thin, and urination is quite difficult, with some pain involved. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said it's benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). I'm asking: Where can I go for more professional treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia and fibrosis?Doctor's answer:
The condition you mentioned, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is generally more common in older adults, while younger individuals are more likely to experience prostatitis. For prostatitis, it is generally recommended to use antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment. Additionally, short-term use of α-blockers (such as terazosin) should be taken in coordination. Quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Avoid spicy foods. Refrain from sexual intercourse and avoid excessive sexual frequency. Prevent local cold stimuli. At the same time, physical therapy can enhance the therapeutic effect, with methods such as sitz baths (warm water sitz bath for about 10 minutes). BPH can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
