Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like I lack strength when urinating. The stream is very thin, and I even feel like I can't urinate properly. Could this be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, please ask: How should the treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia be carried out?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common and prevalent condition among middle-aged and elderly men. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, tailoring interventions to individual symptoms. The treatment approaches for prostate hyperplasia have undergone significant changes in recent years. In the past, Western medications were commonly used to address symptoms such as urinary frequency and difficulty urinating. Methods like transurethral laser therapy, microwave, and radiofrequency were also employed. However, these treatments only address the symptoms superficially without addressing the root cause, making them prone to recurrence.
