Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing incomplete urination and an increase in residual urine. After a check-up, it was found that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). How can BPH be treated? I want to achieve a complete self-recovery from the condition.Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is typically caused by the fibrosis of fibrous tissue within the prostate due to aging. It is related to individual constitution and cannot be cured. Warm water sitz baths can be used to alleviate symptoms caused by fibrosis. If the patient is older and the condition is severe, prostatectomy may be considered for treatment. BPH can be recovered from, but the treatment process is usually slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment, and patients should maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
