Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing incomplete urination and an increase in residual urine, with difficulty urinating. After a check-up, it was found that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. Is the harm of benign prostatic hyperplasia very serious?Doctor's answer:
Based on your condition, prostatitis is a common disease in middle-aged and elderly men, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia. The fibrotic gland is located in the bladder neck, which causes urinary tract obstruction, leading to frequent urination and difficulty urinating. The cause is unclear, but it is currently believed that it may be related to endocrine disorders of sexual hormone balance.When it comes to treatment, it depends on the specific condition. If the symptoms are mild, it is best to choose traditional Chinese medicine therapy. If the symptoms are severe, surgery to remove the gland is recommended, which is better.
During treatment, avoid spicy foods, drink more water, exercise more, and quit smoking and drinking.
