Patient's question:
What are the methods to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia? What solutions can be found? It has been very troublesome for a long time, and my heart is also uncomfortable. I am looking for a solution.Doctor's answer:
In the early stage of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), its etiology is often influenced by factors such as excessive sexual activity, chronic prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, smoking and alcohol consumption, medications, endocrine imbalances, endocrine disorders, and increased male hormone levels, among others. The early clinical manifestations are commonly seen as follows:1. Frequent urination, especially increased nocturia, where patients may urinate 2 to 5 times or more per night, with increased urine volume.
2. Difficulty urinating, such as hesitancy, weak urine flow, and intermittent urination.
3. Hematuria (blood in urine).
4. Hypersexuality.
If the condition progresses unchecked, it may lead to acute urinary retention, where the patient is completely unable to urinate. It is recommended to seek early medical attention for related examinations, such as prostate and endocrine tests. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid alcohol and irritating foods, prevent colds and flu, reduce sexual activity, and manage the condition to alleviate symptoms.
There are many treatment options available for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
