Patient's question:
Feeling very uncomfortable in the private area, that feeling can't be described, it affects work and life very much, it's very troublesome. How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated to get better?Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement. The treatment principles are as follows:1. In elderly men with symptoms such as nocturia (increased nighttime urination), straining during urination, and post-micturition dripping, prostate enlargement should be considered first.
2. Drinking less beer can help prevent the bladder from becoming excessively shrunk, which may lead to acute urinary retention.
4. Prostate enlargement can cause urinary tract obstruction, secondary infections, and in severe cases, lead to hydronephrosis (accumulation of urine in the renal pelvis), severely impairing kidney function. Therefore, active treatment should be initiated, including surgical intervention.
5. Prostate enlargement is often easily confused with prostate cancer. Therefore, elderly individuals with symptoms of prostate enlargement should promptly seek medical attention for thorough examination and treatment to avoid missing the optimal opportunity for intervention.
