Patient's question:
When I went to the bathroom yesterday, it felt a bit awkward, like I couldn't empty my bladder completely. Also, I think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has returned, causing compression?Question: How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?
Doctor's answer:
The treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is based on stabilizing urinary symptoms, alleviating complications, and protecting renal function. It is important to pay attention to climate changes to avoid cold exposure, prevent occupational infections, and refrain from drug use, smoking, and consuming spicy foods. Avoid excessive emotional stress and maintain a calm mindset. Drink water appropriately to prevent urinary retention. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination to clarify the condition and determine an appropriate treatment plan. The condition of BPH tends to fluctuate, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
