Patient's question:
Doctor, how can I completely treat benign prostatic hyperplasia? I have been suffering for a long time, and I want to ask for a quick solution. How can benign prostatic hyperplasia be completely treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is caused by the gradual shrinkage of the prostate, which exerts control over the urethra and bladder outlet. Clinically, it is characterized by frequent urination, urgency, increased nighttime urination, and difficulty urinating. It can also lead to complications such as urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and hematuria, severely impacting the quality of life for elderly men. Therefore, active treatment is necessary, and some patients may even require surgical intervention. It is advisable to minimize alcohol consumption to prevent recurrent congestion of the prostate. Avoid spicy and irritating foods like chili peppers and ginger, as they can exacerbate symptoms of hemorrhoids and constipation while also affecting the prostate.
