Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:To check and confirm the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), I haven't had any significant symptoms during this time. Recently, I've felt abdominal fullness, and urination has been intermittent. I always wake up at night, and during the day, I also feel frequent urination and urgency. Does this mean my condition is serious? Please ask: How is benign prostatic hyperplasia treated? Is there a way to treat it?
Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it seems your condition is quite serious. Prostate enlargement, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a disease specific to middle-aged and elderly men. Due to the fibrosis of the enlarged prostate compressing the urethra, it can lead to difficulty urinating. During the acute edema phase, the complete obstruction of the urethra by the prostate prevents urination. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for relevant examinations. If necessary, surgical treatment may be required to stabilize the condition. Do not delay, as it may worsen significantly.In daily life, you must pay attention to your diet, avoid prolonged sitting and holding in urine, and refrain from smoking, alcohol, spicy, and irritating foods. Also, avoid overexertion and exposure to cold. I hope this is helpful!
For patients with BPH, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while maintaining good personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
