Patient's question:
When I went to the toilet yesterday, it felt a bit rough, like I couldn't empty my bladder completely. Also, I think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has flared up again, causing pressure?Could you please tell me how BPH treatment can be carried out?
Doctor's answer:
The ventilation in the male genital area is poor, making it easy to accumulate dirt and debris. Local bacteria often take advantage of this to enter, which can lead to conditions such as prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and improved sexual function. Therefore, maintaining good hygiene in the perineal area is an important aspect of caring for BPH.Pay attention to your diet: Avoid drinking strong alcohol, limit the intake of sweet, sour, and spicy foods, and consume more vegetables, soy products, and whole grains. Eat plenty of eggs, beef, and seed-based foods like walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. Drink plenty of water to urinate frequently, which can help prevent urinary tract infections.
Do not hold your urine: As soon as you feel the urge to urinate, you should go immediately. Holding in urine is harmful to both the bladder and the prostate.
