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 (BPH). How should I take care of myself after BPH surgery?Doctor's answer:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia can lead to increased nocturia and progressive urinary difficulties. Postoperative anti-inflammatory treatment is required for 1-2 weeks. It is recommended that local urology department conduct a thorough examination for confirmation. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, opt for a light diet, and use anti-inflammatory drugs for symptomatic treatment while closely monitoring the condition. The condition of benign prostatic hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek immediate treatment at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
