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 feel my abdomen is full, and urination is intermittent. I always get up at night, and during the day, I also feel frequent urination and urgency. Does this mean my condition is serious? Please ask: How is it considered that benign prostatic hyperplasia has improved?Doctor's answer:
Hello, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is generally related to age and is a degenerative inflammatory condition. The progression is relatively slow, and it can recur with urinary frequency, urgency, and nocturia after the hypertrophy of the middle lobe is controlled. For BPH, there are currently no specific drugs available. Oral pollen preparations can be taken, but do not be easily influenced by advertisements. When necessary, it is beneficial to visit the urology department for periodic prostate massage to aid in prostate metabolism. Sitz baths with wild chrysanthemum water are also a good choice.Patients with BPH can use traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) remedies as supplementary treatments while understanding symptomatic treatments. In daily life, it is essential to avoid extreme hunger or fullness and never overeat or binge drink.
