Patient's question:
Last March, I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Throughout the period, I haven't experienced any significant symptoms. Recently, I've felt abdominal fullness, and my urination has been intermittent. I also wake up frequently at night and feel the need to urinate often during the day. Is this indicating that my condition has worsened? Please ask: How can benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated to improve?Doctor's answer:
How long has this phenomenon been occurring? If it's convenient, please share the detailed inspection results for review. The possibility of kidney Yang deficiency is high. It is recommended not to engage in sexual activity, and to avoid bad habits such as prolonged sitting, overtime work, fatigue, overexertion, smoking, and drinking alcohol. Avoid spicy foods and cold drinks, and consume more high-protein foods and black-colored foods. Run in the morning and evening, stay active, and strengthen your body. Before taking a nap each night, soak your feet in warm water for 20 minutes to ensure 8 hours of effective deep sleep. Regularly use a hot water bag to warm and apply heat to the Guanyuan point and perineum. You can also take Compound Xuanyu capsules orally to stabilize the condition. It is not advisable to completely rule out medication, as a good and regular lifestyle is the most important thing.
