Patient's question:
Prostate hyperplasia diagnosed last September, during which time I haven't had any significant symptoms. Recently, I've been feeling abdominal fullness, and urination has been intermittent. I often wake up at night, and during the day, I also experience frequent urination and urgency. Does this mean my condition has worsened? Please ask: How should common prostate enlargement be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is recommended to be treated with antibiotics for anti-inflammatory purposes. Short-term use of α-blockers (such as Doxazosin) is advised. Quit smoking and alcohol, avoid spicy foods, refrain from sexual intercourse, and prevent excessive sexual frequency. Also, avoid local cold stimuli. Additionally, physical therapy can enhance the treatment effect. The method involves sitting in a basin of warm water for about 10 minutes. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
