Patient's question:
These 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. In the morning, I even noticed that my urine was split. What should I do if I have benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a common disease in men, and there are many causes of it. Long-term irritation from standing or sitting for extended periods, excessive smoking, alcohol consumption, spicy foods, and medications can lead to prostatitis. Additionally, conditions such as excessive sexual activity, frequent sexual intercourse, or unclean sexual experiences may contribute to the development of the condition.The treatment principles involve using antibiotics in combination with physical therapy to accelerate drug absorption and quickly achieve therapeutic goals. The dietary approach should focus on light, easily digestible foods, with an emphasis on consuming more fruits and vegetables while reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Quitting smoking and alcohol consumption can also help increase blood flow to the prostate. It is important to maintain a normal sex life based on individual circumstances, avoiding both excessive indulgence and abstinence. Avoid holding urine for long periods and seek timely treatment for urinary tract infections.
