Patient's question:
Yesterday when I was using the restroom, it felt a bit uncomfortable, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder. Also, I think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is flaring up again, causing pressure?Question: How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated to improve it?
Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia alone will never cause perineal pain; it only affects urination. Pain symptoms will only manifest when combined with prostatitis. Active treatment of prostatitis can effectively alleviate symptoms. I recommend you undergo a routine prostatic fluid examination to determine the nature of the prostatitis. For patients with prostate hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should promptly take medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
