Patient's question:
Doctor, I had frequent urination 3 years ago and had an ultrasound examination. However, after a period of treatment, there was not much effect. Could you please tell me how benign prostatic hyperplasia is usually treated in general?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease among elderly men, with onset typically occurring after the age of 50. As age increases, the incidence rate gradually declines, making it a frequent condition treated in urology. Treating prostate hyperplasia is a long-term process. Once diagnosed, patients must follow medical advice for medication, absolutely avoiding self-discontinuation or reduction of medication. Regular follow-up examinations should be conducted to adjust the treatment plan promptly based on the condition.There are some details in daily life that people might not pay much attention to, but they can affect the treatment. Mainly, it's important to get adequate rest, avoid alcohol, and steer clear of spicy foods. Pay attention to preventing colds, refraining from intense exercise, and avoiding prolonged sitting or long-distance bicycle riding. Urinate promptly and never hold in urine.
