Patient's question:
When I went to the bathroom yesterday, it felt a bit rough, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder, and I also felt that my hemorrhoids might be getting worse. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has returned, causing compression?Question: How can the treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia be most effective?
Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is recommended to take oral penicillin-class antibiotics and bismuthamine. Rest well, avoid drinking beer, and avoid spicy foods. Avoid or reduce sexual activity to prevent adverse stimuli, in order to alleviate the swelling of the prostate and relieve the condition. Regular follow-up tests are necessary. If the condition does not improve, early medical consultation is required. For patients with prostate hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely symptomatic treatment and maintain a regular sexual life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
