Patient's question:
Confirmed prostatic hyperplasia, during which there have been no significant symptoms. Recently, I feel a sense of fullness in my abdomen, and urination is intermittent. I often wake up at night, and during the day, I also experience frequent urination and urgency. Does this indicate that my condition has worsened? Please ask: How can dietary therapy help alleviate prostatic hypertrophy?Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement is related to the endocrine system, caused by fibrosis of the epithelial cells and stromal fibers of the inner urethral glands and suburethral glands in the prostate, cystic expansion of the acini, and fibrosis of connective tissue and smooth muscle bundles. Since the prostate is located precisely at the bladder outlet, surrounding the urethra in a unique position, if fibrosis recurs, it will control the urethra from all directions, obstructing the outflow of urine from the bladder, leading to a series of inflammatory conditions in the urinary system. This can also affect sexual health. Currently, Chinese medicine treatment is relatively effective for prostate enlargement. The condition of prostate enlargement tends to recur easily, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is essential to seek professional and reputable medical treatment immediately, and treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations.
