Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like I lack strength when urinating. The stream is very thin, and I even feel like I can't urinate properly. Could this be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, please tell me: what are the early symptoms of BPH?Doctor's answer:
There are many treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia, which can be summarized into two major categories: surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment. Currently, non-surgical treatments include local penetration methods, rectal medication combined with infrared therapy, local injection methods, and others. Clinical diagnostic applications have proven that external treatments also have a good therapeutic effect on symptoms such as altered urination and discomfort. Here, we will explain a few self-administered external treatments for reference. Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia should pay attention to the following in their daily lives: First, avoid spicy and irritating foods and alcohol. Second, eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, coarse grains, and soy products, consume fresh honey to maintain regular bowel movements, and eat sufficient beef and eggs.
