Patient's question:
Diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia last April, I haven't experienced any significant symptoms during that time. Recently, I've noticed abdominal fullness and intermittent urination. I also frequently wake up at night and feel the need to urinate often during the day. Is this a sign that my condition has worsened? Please advise: What should I eat if my prostate is enlarged?Doctor's answer:
There are many treatment methods for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), such as drug therapy and physical therapy. The most advanced treatment for BPH at the moment is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). When this method is used for BPH treatment, it is effective quickly, allows for a rapid recovery, has a low risk of recurrence, and causes minimal harm. It is currently the treatment method chosen by the vast majority of patients for BPH.The condition of BPH tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, it is important to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
