Patient's question:
Hello, I have been experiencing lower abdominal discomfort and frequent urination recently. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). How can this condition be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a color Doppler ultrasound can determine the size of the fibrosis in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and no other tests are necessary. However, treatment for BPH is required. Currently, the only method to cure BPH is surgical intervention. It is recommended that you prepare for lifestyle management, such as: exercising, avoiding prolonged sitting and holding urine, drinking plenty of water, maintaining a relaxed mood, having regular sexual activity, quitting smoking and alcohol, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. In addition to standard treatment for BPH, patients should also pay attention to care, such as maintaining a light diet and staying active outdoors. At the same time, patients should be mindful of choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
