Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I don'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 tell me what the early symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia are?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is one of the common diseases among elderly men, and it is related to hormonal imbalance, long-term urinary retention, spicy diet, drug use, and other factors. Early symptoms mainly manifest as frequent urination, urgency, and weak urine flow. It can be treated with oral Pulegan tablets and requires close observation.In daily life, it is important to stay active, avoid prolonged sitting and holding urine, wear loose underwear, abstain from sexual activity, regularly clean the external genitalia, and maintain a regular sexual life. Drink plenty of water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy and high-fat foods. Also, avoid smoking and alcohol.
Prostate hyperplasia can be cured.
