How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I have been experiencing frequent urination and painful urination recently, which has been very uncomfortable. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with prostatitis. How should I treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to first go to the hospital for a prostatic fluid examination, and only then treat it after a diagnosis of prostatitis is confirmed. At the same time, avoid alcohol and irritating foods during bowel movements, prevent catching colds due to exposure to cold, reduce sexual activity to prevent the condition from worsening, and so on. Prostate enlargement is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication for management. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals based on examination results. Additionally, maintain a restrained sexual life and keep a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
