Patient's question:
I have been feeling like I have benign prostatic hyperplasia for two years. I always thought it would resolve on its own. When I was young, I had a habit of sexual intercourse, but I have abstained for 5 years now. The current symptoms are a delay in urination, and I haven't noticed any other symptoms. I went to the hospital last year and the doctor said it wasn't a big deal, told me not to worry, and prescribed some medication. The situation improved for a while, but now it's not working again. What should I do now?Doctor's answer:
Do you have frequent urination, urgency, or excessive sexual activity, which can lead to male sexual dysfunction such as prostatitis and other diseases? Based on your description, a comprehensive analysis suggests it may be a recurrence due to incomplete treatment. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment can be used; it relaxes the smooth muscles of the prostate, alleviating symptoms. However, it must be implemented under the guidance of a doctor for standardized treatment. Regular follow-up tests are required. Avoid holding gas, drinking beer, coffee, or strong tea, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods.
