Patient's question:
Lately, I don't know what's wrong, but I always feel a strong urge to urinate. However, when I go to the bathroom, it feels like there isn't much urine. Sometimes it's just a drop or two. During morning urination, I even noticed that my stream was split. After doing some research, I realized it might be benign prostatic hyperplasia. Could you please tell me what dietary precautions should be taken for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is mainly caused by inflammation, so anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered during the treatment. This can be done through topical application or oral administration of anti-inflammatory drugs, such as cephalexin or ofloxacin, for example. However, the most important treatment method still involves physical therapy, which mainly includes rectal microwave therapy, rectal injection, and urethral microwave therapy. Generally, a significant effect can be observed after one week of treatment. It is recommended to seek treatment as soon as possible to recover early, which is very helpful for preventing prostate fibrosis. Drink plenty of water and avoid spicy foods, and prevent catching a cold.
