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 feel like my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is flaring up again, causing compression?Please ask: What are the common treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, it is recommended to use antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment. Short-term use of α-receptor blockers (e.g., Doxazosin) may be considered. Quit smoking and alcohol. Avoid spicy foods. Refrain from sexual intercourse and avoid excessive sexual frequency. Prevent local cold stimuli. At the same time, physical therapy can enhance the therapeutic effect. The method involves sitting in a basin (warm water for about 10 minutes). Prostate hyperplasia can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during treatment. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
