Patient's question:
Is benign prostatic hyperplasia a very serious disease? I took a course of medication, but the condition has not improved. What should I do? Are there any effective treatments for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common and prevalent condition among middle-aged and elderly men. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to quitting smoking and avoiding alcohol, maintaining a regular lifestyle, and strengthening exercise, which can help in the recovery of the disease. Generally, the effectiveness of drug treatment is not very significant. In necessary cases, surgical treatment is recommended for patients with prostate hyperplasia. Timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease, while delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
