Patient's question:
Actually, it wasn't very serious at first. It was just that every time I urinated, I felt a bit of resistance. Recently, I've noticed the situation is getting worse. Sometimes the urine is very thin, and urination is quite difficult, with a bit of pain. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said it's benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Please ask: How can I prevent benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
If the discomfort from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is significant but the symptoms are mild, medication may not be necessary. Proper self-care should be practiced to control the progression of the condition. If the symptoms are severe and interfere with your daily life, oral medication can be taken. Generally, anti-inflammatory drugs and medications specifically for BPH are recommended.Strengthen your exercise routine to improve your overall health and prevent cold exposure. Avoid sitting for long periods, riding bicycles or horses, and holding urine for extended times. Maintain good hygiene in the genital area, thoroughly remove smegma, and wear loose-fitting underwear. Have a regular sexual life, avoid excessive frequency, and refrain from sexual intercourse. Drink plenty of water, avoid spicy foods, and abstain from smoking and alcohol.
BPH can be managed effectively, but the treatment process is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
