Patient's question:
Go to check and confirm the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia. During this period, I haven't had any obvious symptoms. Recently, I've felt 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 is serious? Please ask: Are there usually foods that should be avoided with benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common and prevalent condition among middle-aged and elderly men. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) advocates syndrome differentiation and treatment, providing targeted therapies for BPH. The treatment methods for BPH have undergone significant changes in recent years. In the past, Western medications were commonly used, primarily targeting symptoms such as frequent urination and difficulty urinating. For example, treatments like transurethral laser therapy, microwave, and radiofrequency were frequently employed. However, these methods only address the symptoms rather than the root cause of BPH and are prone to recurrence. In reality, BPH is not an insurmountable condition. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the disease. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and achieving recovery are very high.
