Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like I lack strength when urinating. The stream is very thin, and I even feel like I can't urinate properly. Is this a sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, could you please tell me how to treat it to improve the condition?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is recommended to be treated with antibiotics for anti-inflammatory purposes. Short-term use of α-receptor blockers such as Duzuo Jie may also be considered. Quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Avoid spicy foods. Refrain from sexual intercourse and avoid excessive frequency of sexual activity. Prevent local cold exposure. Additionally, physical therapy can enhance treatment effectiveness. Methods include sitz baths. Prostate enlargement can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
