Patient's question:
I have had benign prostatic hyperplasia for a while, and I always experience frequent urination and urgency, especially at night when I have a lot of nighttime urinations. I am currently taking medication for treatment, but the effect is quite average. I would like to understand what kind of tea is good for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
It's important to pay attention to diet when suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). When it comes to tea, it's also necessary to make careful choices. Although the components in tea can help alleviate BPH to some extent, strong tea may also worsen the symptoms of BPH. Patients with BPH can consume tea in moderation but should avoid drinking strong tea. It's not advisable to drink too much black tea; instead, light tea is recommended. Since you have frequent nighttime urination, it's best to limit tea consumption before bed. It's suggested to use dandelion, honeysuckle, and other herbs as alternatives to tea, which can also provide some auxiliary therapeutic effects. BPH patients can combine professional treatment with dietary therapy as a complementary approach in daily life.
