Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like I lack strength when urinating. The stream is very thin, and I even feel like I can't urinate properly. Is this a sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia? If so, could you please explain how to handle the postoperative care after a prostatectomy?Doctor's answer:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia can lead to increased nocturia and progressive urinary difficulties. Postoperatively, anti-inflammatory treatment for 1-2 weeks is required. It is recommended that the local urology department conduct a thorough examination for confirmation. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, opt for a light diet, use anti-inflammatory drugs for symptomatic treatment, and closely monitor the condition. Benign prostatic hyperplasia can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, it is advised to maintain good lifestyle habits and follow a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
