Patient's question:
Doctor, I have benign prostatic hyperplasia, but I don't understand this disease. I would like to consult, how is the treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
As a patient, you should be fully aware of the harm that benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can bring to you, such as urinary retention, incontinence, and uremia. While undergoing treatment, it is important to take relevant preventive measures, such as abstaining from alcohol, maintaining a regular schedule, and avoiding overexertion. For example, in your diet, you should consume fewer spicy foods like chili peppers; minimize alcohol consumption to prevent repeated congestion of the prostate and bladder neck, which can increase the risk of constipation.Every morning, you should drink a glass of warm plain water on an empty stomach. It can help prevent constipation, dissolve blood clots, and mechanically cleanse the urethra, thereby preventing the accumulation of residual urine and the formation of stones. There are many treatment methods for BPH, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the chosen treatments differ accordingly. Therefore, it is crucial for patients to seek a prompt diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
