Patient's question:
Hello, I have been experiencing lower abdominal discomfort and frequent urination recently. After checking at the hospital, I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). What are the treatment methods for BPH?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in the market, drugs such as hormone-based or anti-hormone drugs, α-adrenergic receptor blockers, 5α-reductase inhibitors, cholesterol inhibitors, and others are widely used. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), medication generally involves Proscar (finasteride). Since the effect is not noticeable now, it is possible that your fibrosis has further progressed, which is why the medication is not working as well. You can try Chinese herbal medicine. If the effect is still not good, surgical treatment is still recommended.In addition to timely treatment for BPH, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and staying active outdoors. At the same time, patients should also be careful to choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis, so that they can achieve better treatment outcomes.
