Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been feeling unwell recently, experiencing frequent urination and pain during urination. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. Is acupuncture effective for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
It doesn't have much effect. I suggest you take many blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving medications, such as Qian Mao Xin capsules, and many antibacterial medications, such as Azithromycin capsules. In daily life, drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid prolonged sitting, and avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods like smoking, alcohol, and animal fat. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it will affect your physical condition. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
