Patient's question:
Yesterday when I was using the restroom, it felt a bit awkward, like I couldn't fully empty my bladder. Also, I think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Could this be my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) flaring up again, causing compression?Please ask: What should patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia pay attention to in their care?
Doctor's answer:
The cause of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is due to an increase in testosterone excretion from the testes in elderly individuals. Once the cause is understood, it becomes clear why the effectiveness of most medications is poor. Of course, if the prostatitis is treated separately with medication to control the inflammation, the symptoms may be reduced. However, the majority of cases involve simple fibrosis of the prostate, which can be relieved. However, the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor and use medication appropriately. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
