Patient's question:
Recently, I experienced difficulty urinating, hesitation during urination, thin urine stream, and dribbling urine. This month, I went to a hospital and was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). What should I pay attention to in terms of diet for BPH?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is one of the common recurring diseases among elderly men. If you are 23 and have prostate hyperplasia, it may be caused by inflammation. You can take anti-inflammatory drugs and Pulegan tablets for treatment. Pay attention to rest, avoid cold exposure, maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, clean regularly, avoid sexual activity, drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and consume foods such as tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, black fungus, and mushrooms. Avoid high-fat, smoked, spicy, and other foods. Also, avoid smoking and alcohol. Prostate hyperplasia can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
