Patient's question:
Prostate enlargement diagnosed last year, I haven't had any obvious symptoms during that time. Recently, I've been feeling abdominal fullness, and urination has been intermittent. I always wake up at night, and during the day, I also feel frequent urination and urgency. Does this mean my condition has worsened? Please ask: How can I do daily prevention for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
How long has it been? Enlarged prostate, difficulty urinating. General treatment, prostate massage, drug injection, isolation of surrounding prostate tissue, combined use of antibiotics, etc. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine can be used in conjunction. In the treatment of prostate hyperplasia, Chinese herbal medicine combined with physical therapy can be considered. Nonsteroidal antiandrogen (e.g., finasteride) can be used to relax the smooth muscles of the prostate, alleviate symptoms. However, standardized treatment must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. Regular follow-up tests are required. Avoid holding gas, drinking beer, coffee, or strong tea, and eating spicy and irritating foods. Physical therapy can help open up inflamed areas, effectively stabilize internal blood circulation in the gland, and ensure the smooth passage of prostate ducts.
