Patient's question:
Male, 35 years old, suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia for 1 year. Currently, the symptoms of frequent urination have been alleviated significantly, but the frequency is still high. What should be paid attention to when treating benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a long-term process. Once diagnosed, patients must follow their doctor's instructions for medication, absolutely not stopping or reducing medication on their own, and undergo regular follow-up examinations to adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner based on the condition. Additionally, in terms of diet, lifestyle, and daily routines, it is important to avoid stimulating foods and alcohol; pay attention to preventing colds; and avoid strenuous exercise, prolonged sitting, and long-distance bicycle riding.There are several treatment methods for BPH, but since patients have different symptoms, the chosen treatment methods will vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms appear.
