Patient's question:
These past few days, I don't know what's wrong, but I always feel a strong urge to urinate. However, when I go to the toilet, it feels like there isn't much urine. Sometimes it's just a drop or two. During morning urination, I even noticed that my stream was split. After consulting, it seems to be benign prostatic hyperplasia. Please ask: What should I avoid eating with benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common and prevalent condition among middle-aged and elderly men. In recent years, due to the gradual expansion of minimally invasive techniques, the treatment methods for prostate hyperplasia have undergone significant changes. Previously, medication was commonly used to address symptoms caused by urinary obstruction, such as frequent urination and difficulty urinating. Methods like transurethral laser therapy, microwave, and radiofrequency were also employed. However, these approaches only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause and can easily lead to recurrence.For the treatment of prostatitis and prostate hyperplasia, it is recommended to use traditional Chinese herbal medicines such as Poria (Fuling), lotus seeds (Lian Xu), Eucommia ulmoides (Da Yun), Bupleurum (Ling Pi), Tribulus terrestris (Sha Yuan Zi), Cuscuta chinensis (Tu Si Zi), Eucommia ulmoides (Du Zhong), Polygonum multiflorum (Ba Ji Tian), mulberry (Sang Shen), and rosehip (Jin Ying Zi), as well as hedgehog skin (Ci Wei Pi).
