Patient's question:
Prostate hyperplasia diagnosed last year, I've had no significant symptoms during that time. Recently, I've been feeling abdominal fullness and intermittent urination. I always wake up at night and also experience frequent urination during the day. Does this mean my condition has worsened? Please ask: How should treatment be approached for prostate enlargement?Doctor's answer:
Generally, men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostatic hypertrophy may experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, a feeling of incomplete urination, dribbling urine, urine splitting, hesitation to urinate, and increased nocturia. It is recommended to pay attention to rest, protect the abdomen from cold, and drink more water. Oral medications such as Pulegan tablets and tamsulosin hydrochloride capsules can be taken. If the effect is not satisfactory, surgical removal of the prostate may be considered. Prostatic hypertrophy can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
