Patient's question:
How to Avoid Treatment Myths for Prostate Enlargement? I don't even know how I got this disease, and I take good care of myself. What should I pay attention to when treating prostate enlargement? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Mistakes in the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH):1. Improper Self-Medication: Once again, male diseases are a concern, and the most is self-medication. Some male patients mistakenly believe that topical medications can solve the problem, which is incorrect. Blind use of drugs can lead to an increase in male endocrine issues and recurring symptoms such as external genital pain. Continued use of medication can cause male drug resistance, rendering treatment ineffective and further delaying the best opportunity for optimal treatment, ultimately worsening the condition.
2. Stopping Treatment When Symptoms Subside: Some people, when treating BPH, adopt a sporadic approach—similar to "three days of fishing and two days of drying nets." They stop treatment as soon as they see some improvement. After doing so, the condition often recurs after a short period. Over time, this leads to repeated relapses of BPH, creating a vicious cycle.
