Patient's question:
Actually, it wasn't very serious at first. It was just that every time I urinated, I felt a bit of resistance. Recently, I've noticed the situation is getting worse. Sometimes the urine is very thin, and urination is quite difficult, with a bit of pain. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said it's benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Please ask: How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease among elderly men, with onset typically occurring after the age of 50. As age increases, the incidence rate tends to decline, making it a frequent condition in urology. Treating prostate hyperplasia is a long-term process. Once diagnosed, patients must follow medical advice for medication, absolutely avoiding self-discontinuation or reduction of dosage. Regular follow-up examinations should be conducted to adjust the treatment plan promptly based on the condition. Additionally, in terms of diet and daily life, it is important to avoid foods and alcohol; take precautions against cold exposure. Vigorous exercise should be avoided, as well as prolonged sitting and long-distance bicycle riding. Urinate promptly and never hold in urine.
