Patient's question:
When I went to the toilet yesterday, it felt a bit difficult, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder, and I also felt that my hemorrhoids might be getting worse. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has flared up again, causing compression?Could you please tell me: What methods are there to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a chronic condition with a prolonged treatment duration, requiring relatively strict management. There is a special tissue structure surrounding the prostate, making it difficult for drugs to penetrate its interior. This is also a primary reason for the recurring nature of prostatitis. Currently, clinical diagnosis primarily relies on physical therapy combined with appropriate medication to achieve good self-healing effects. Drinking plenty of water, avoiding beer, and not sitting for extended periods are recommended. If any discomfort symptoms arise, early medication treatment is necessary. If the prostate enlargement is significant, surgical removal may be required for treatment.
