Patient's question:
I am 32 years old. During a health check-up at my workplace, I was carefully diagnosed with mild benign prostatic hyperplasia. I would like to know how to treat mild benign prostatic hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
Urinary retention caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostatitis, including weak urination, thinning of the urinary stream, and dribbling, can be examined with ultrasound, checked for bladder residual urine symptoms, and managed with lifestyle precautions to avoid cold exposure, absolute avoidance of alcohol, reduced consumption of spicy foods, and never holding in urine, avoiding prolonged sitting, and drinking plenty of water. Prompt treatment is necessary: it is important to treat prostatitis, cystitis, and ureteral calculi promptly and thoroughly. Priligy can be taken, but the most definitive treatment is surgical removal of the prostate. Benign prostatic hyperplasia can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, not smoke or drink beer, and hope that male patients can recover quickly.
