Patient's question:
When I went to the bathroom yesterday, it felt a bit rough, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder, and I also think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is flaring up again, causing pressure?Question: What is the best way to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is clinically diagnosed as an enlarged prostate, which is caused by hormonal imbalance, improper dietary habits, and changes in the prostate tissue itself. If the symptoms are not very prominent, medication can be deferred, and self-care should be focused on controlling the progression of the condition. Simple benign prostatic hyperplasia will never cause lower back pain.In daily life, it is important to pay attention to strengthening exercise, avoiding cold exposure, not sitting for long periods, not riding bicycles or horses, not holding urine for extended periods, maintaining good external genital hygiene, frequent cleaning, avoiding tight underwear, refraining from sexual activity, maintaining a regular sexual life, but not being too frequent, and avoiding cold sensations. Drink more water, avoid spicy foods, and abstain from smoking and alcohol.
For lower back pain, you can visit the hospital for an X-ray examination to identify the cause and receive timely treatment. Prostate hyperplasia tends to recur, so long-term medication is often necessary.
