Patient's question:
Recently, I experienced difficulty urinating, a delay in urination, a thin stream of urine, and dribbling urine. This month, I went to a hospital and was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia. How can benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a long-term process. Once diagnosed, patients must follow their doctor's advice to take medication, and absolutely should not stop or reduce the dosage on their own. Regular follow-up examinations should be conducted to adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner based on the condition.Additionally, in terms of diet and daily habits, it is important to avoid stimulating foods and alcohol. Pay attention to preventing colds; avoid strenuous exercise, prolonged sitting, and long-distance bicycle riding. BPH symptoms can easily fluctuate, requiring long-term medication.
For male patients, it is essential to seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Proper diet should be maintained, and sexual activity should be avoided. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
