Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been feeling weak in my sexual performance. Also, when I go to the bathroom, I've noticed that my urine is cloudy, and there's a bit of pain at the urethral opening. The check-up suggested it might be prostatitis. I'm really worried because I haven't had children yet. Please ask: Is it necessary to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
First and foremost, it is essential to conduct a thorough examination to identify the underlying cause of the prostate enlargement, such as inflammation, cysts, or fibrosis, as different causes require different treatment methods. Due to the inability to conduct a face-to-face consultation, it is not possible to fully understand the patient's condition. It is recommended to seek medical attention at a reputable hospital as soon as possible to identify the root cause and receive targeted treatment for the best possible outcome.Prostate enlargement patients should actively understand and follow the treatment plan to prevent further harm to themselves. Paying attention to daily lifestyle habits remains important:
1. Avoid holding urine, as it can disrupt blood circulation in the prostate and bladder neck, exacerbate edema, and lead to urinary obstruction.
2. Smoking and drug use can easily cause dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, leading to issues such as urinary retention.
