Patient's question:
Male, 35 years old, suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia for 1 year. Currently, the symptoms of frequent urination have improved significantly, but the frequency is still high. What should be paid attention to when treating benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a long-term process. Once diagnosed, patients must follow their doctor's advice to take medication and absolutely should not stop or reduce the dosage on their own. Regular follow-up tests should be conducted to adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner based on the condition. Additionally, in terms of diet and lifestyle, it is important to avoid irritant foods, abstain from alcohol, take care to prevent colds, and avoid strenuous exercise, prolonged sitting, and long-distance bicycle riding.There are several treatment methods for BPH, but since patients have different symptoms, the chosen treatment methods will vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible if they experience symptoms.
