Patient's question:
When I went to the bathroom yesterday, it felt a bit awkward, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder. Also, I think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Could this be because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has flared 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 itself. If the symptoms are not very prominent, medication can be temporarily avoided, 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, frequently cleaning the area, wearing loose underwear, avoiding sexual intercourse, maintaining a regular sexual life, but not being too frequent, and avoiding cold sensations. Drink more water, avoid spicy foods, and avoid smoking and alcohol. For lower back pain, you can go to the hospital for an X-ray examination to identify the cause and receive timely treatment, which is crucial for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
