Patient's question:
Prostate enlargement diagnosed last year, I haven't had any obvious symptoms during that time. Recently, I've been feeling 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 getting worse? Please ask: What is the best way to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia must be actively treated. This condition is caused by the gradual enlargement of the prostate, which affects the control of the urethra and bladder outlet, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty urinating. If the condition has a minimal impact on your quality of life, medication may be an option. It is advisable to avoid excessive consumption of caffeine and alcohol-containing beverages to help alleviate the symptoms.If the condition significantly interferes with your daily life, surgical treatment is recommended to prevent further complications. For prostate hyperplasia patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
