Patient's question:
Hello, I have been experiencing lower abdominal discomfort and frequent urination recently. After checking at the hospital, I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). What are the treatment methods for BPH?Doctor's answer:
Currently, hormones or anti-hormone drugs, α-adrenergic receptor blockers, 5α-reductase inhibitors, cholesterol inhibitors, and other medications are widely used in the market. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the general treatment usually involves Proscar (finasteride). Since you are not seeing significant effects now, it is possible that your fibrosis has further progressed, which is why the medication is not working as well. You could consider trying traditional Chinese medicine. If the results are still unsatisfactory, surgical treatment is still recommended.In addition to timely treatment for BPH, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and staying active outdoors. At the same time, patients should carefully choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure a good treatment outcome.
