Patient's question:
Married to my wife for many years, without any contraception, but never got pregnant. Only after checking the hospital did I find out. What should be noted when caring for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
The causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are many, including hormonal imbalance, frequent urinary retention, changes in prostate tissue itself, spicy diet, or drug use, etc. Mild fibrosis does not require treatment, while severe cases can be treated with medication. It is important to avoid prolonged sitting, riding bicycles or horses, engage in regular exercise, and not hold urine. Avoid tight underwear. Pay attention to external hygiene, maintain a regular sexual life, and avoid prolonged or excessive sexual activity. Abstain from masturbation. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, consume more tomatoes, drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol, and refrain from spicy foods, which can help control fibrosis expansion. In addition to standard treatment for BPH, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood.
