Patient's question:
Married to my wife for many years, without any contraception, but have never been pregnant. After checking the hospital, I found out. How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease among middle-aged and elderly men. Generally, during health check-ups, B scans often reveal an enlarged prostate, which is considered a normal physiological change. If there is only prostate hyperplasia without clinical symptoms such as frequent nighttime urination, incomplete urination, thinning of the urine stream, or dribbling after urination, treatment may not be necessary. However, if there are clinical symptoms, medications such as finasteride and alpha-blockers can be used to reduce the size of the enlarged prostate. In addition to symptomatic treatment for prostate hyperplasia, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities.
