Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing incomplete urination and an increase in residual urine, with difficulty urinating. After a check-up, it was found to be benign prostatic hyperplasia. Is the harm of benign prostatic hyperplasia very serious?Doctor's answer:
Based on your condition, prostate enlargement is a common disease in middle-aged and elderly men, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia. The fibrotic gland is located in the bladder neck, which causes urinary tract obstruction, leading to frequent urination and difficulty urinating. The cause is unclear, but it is currently believed that it may be related to endocrine disorders of sex hormone balance. It is recommended that during treatment, the specific condition should be considered. If the symptoms are mild, it is best to choose traditional Chinese medicine therapy. If the symptoms are severe, it is best to opt for surgery to remove it, which is better. During treatment, avoid spicy foods, drink more water, exercise more, and quit smoking and drinking.
