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 slight burning sensation at the urethral opening. The examination suggested it might be prostatitis. I'm really worried because I haven't had children yet. Could you please tell me how to treat mild benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis and fibrosis are common and prevalent conditions among men. Their onset may be related to factors such as prolonged sitting and holding urine, excessive sexual activity, spicy diets, frequent or unclean sexual practices, or changes in prostate tissue itself. Treatment can be administered orally and should be combined with antibiotic therapy. It is advisable to engage in appropriate physical activity, avoid riding bicycles or horses, reduce prolonged sitting and holding urine, maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, and clean the external genital area regularly. During treatment, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited. It is recommended to drink plenty of water, consume fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid high-fat, high-cholesterol, and spicy foods. Quit smoking and alcohol consumption. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should adhere to medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
