Patient's question:
An 80-year-old person with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is experiencing difficulty urinating, and the family is very worried. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement is one of the common diseases among elderly men, being a benign inflammatory condition of the prostate. Its onset is related to the endocrine imbalance of androgens and estrogens in the human body. The best time to treat prostate enlargement is October, as during the cold weather, many people are reluctant to be active, which causes blood vessels to constrict and muscles to tense, exacerbating congestion and edema in the prostate and making the condition more likely to worsen. With proper treatment and appropriate methods, prostate enlargement can be effectively managed. Mutual cooperation between doctors and patients, along with lifestyle adjustments, can generally lead to good therapeutic outcomes.
