Patient's question:
Diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia last July, I haven't had any significant symptoms during that time. Recently, I've been feeling abdominal fullness, and my urination has been intermittent. I've also been waking up frequently at night and experiencing urinary frequency and urgency during the day. Does this mean my condition has worsened? Please ask: How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement is primarily characterized by symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty urinating. If the condition is severe, surgical treatment may be considered to remove the enlarged prostate. It is recommended to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and engage in appropriate outdoor exercise. The condition of prostate enlargement tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be decided based on thorough examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity are important. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
