Patient's question:
Yesterday when I was using the restroom, it felt a bit awkward, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder. Also, I think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is flaring up again, causing compression?Question: Which hospital is best for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) include frequent nighttime urination, urinary urgency, incontinence, a sudden decrease in the frequency of urination, hematuria, and in severe cases, it can lead to kidney dysfunction. It may also cause pain and a burning sensation during the start and end of urination.Dietary restrictions include avoiding spicy and irritating foods, quitting smoking and alcohol, drinking plenty of water, and preventing prolonged sitting, overtime work, overexertion, long-distance cycling or driving, excessive sexual activity, and maintaining regular sexual habits. Additionally, appropriate physical exercise is recommended.
For patients with BPH, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
