Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing incomplete urination, increased post-voiding residue, and difficulty urinating. After a check-up, it was found that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. I would like to ask how does benign prostatic hyperplasia develop? If I have prostatitis with symptoms like frequent urination, urgency, and always feeling the need to use the restroom, what should I do for treatment from a TCM perspective?Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement is related to age, and it also has a certain relationship with sexual habits. If the symptoms you described reappear during the treatment of prostatitis, it is recommended to inform the doctor promptly and adjust the medication appropriately when necessary! The condition of prostate enlargement tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to immediately seek diagnosis at a professional and reputable hospital and consider treatment based on the examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to restrain sexual activity and maintain a good mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
