Patient's question:
When I went to the toilet 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 flared up again, causing compression?Question: How can benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is first recommended to take Pulegan tablets and Bambusoamine under the guidance of a local doctor, along with appropriate antibiotic anti-inflammatory treatment. Quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Avoid spicy foods. Increase sexual activity and frequency of intercourse. Generally, medication can only reduce symptoms. Additionally, it may be necessary to insert a urinary catheter. If urinary retention occurs repeatedly or severely, surgical treatment may be required. In daily life, pay attention to: 1) Not eating spicy or irritating foods, and not drinking alcohol. 2) Eating more fresh fruits, vegetables, coarse grains, and soy products, and consuming more fresh honey to maintain regular bowel movements. Consume sufficient beef and eggs. 3) Eating more seed-based foods, such as pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. 4) Do not increase water intake due to frequent urination, nor hold back urine. Drinking more water can dissolve urine to prevent urinary tract infections and formation.
