Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like there's a lack of strength when urinating. The stream is very thin, and I even feel like I can't urinate properly. Is this a sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia? If so, please ask: Can benign prostatic hyperplasia be relieved?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is one of the common diseases among elderly men. Based on your age, the recurrence of fibrosis may be related to factors such as prolonged sitting with urine retention, drug use, and hormonal imbalance. The medication you mentioned may not be effective. If you currently experience urinary discomfort, you can take anti-inflammatory drugs and Pulegan tablets orally.In daily life, pay attention to staying active, avoid prolonged sitting with urine retention, wear loose underwear, refrain from sexual activity, maintain regular and hygienic sexual habits, drink plenty of water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and smoking. For patients with prostate hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive symptomatic treatment promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to prevent prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
