Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for many years, and we have not used any form of contraception, but we have never been able to conceive. After checking at the hospital, I found out. Please ask what are the methods to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
Hello, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease among elderly men, with recurrence usually occurring after the age of 50. As age increases, the incidence rate also rises, making it a frequent condition in urology. Treating BPH is a long-term process. Once diagnosed, patients must follow their doctor's advice for medication, absolutely avoiding self-discontinuation or reduction of medication. Regular follow-up examinations should be conducted to adjust the treatment plan promptly based on the condition. Additionally, in terms of diet and daily life, foods should be avoided, alcohol consumption is strictly prohibited, and measures to prevent cold exposure should be taken. Intense exercise should be avoided, as well as prolonged sitting and long-distance bicycle riding. Urination should be timely, and absolutely no urine retention should be allowed. Therefore, self-care is very important. Good self-care can not only stabilize treatment effects but also prevent the worsening of the condition and the recurrence of acute urinary retention.
