Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 41 years old. Recently, I have again experienced symptoms of frequent urination and urgency. There is a slight pain during urination, and after each time, I always feel like there is still a bit left unurinated. This feeling is very painful. I searched for information online and suspect I might have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). I am not sure how to confirm if I really have BPH. If I do, what could be the cause? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
The prostate of a man is not a static organ; with age, it undergoes continuous fibrosis. However, based on the situation you described, you are only 41, and it is not benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) but prostatitis. You can take oral gatifloxacin capsules and Pulegone tablets, or Qianmao Xin capsules for treatment. Avoid drinking beer, spicy foods, and getting cold. Make sure to drink plenty of water, and do perineal cold compresses or sit baths daily. In addition to immediate treatment, patients with BPH also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mindset greatly assists in the complete recovery from the disease. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
