Patient's question:
Two weeks ago, I noticed that my urination frequency was slightly higher than usual. Sometimes the urge to urinate was very strong, and at times it even affected my sex life. Then I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. I had never had this disease before. What Chinese medicine should be taken for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia are advised to take oral medication for early maintenance treatment to prevent the symptoms of prostate hyperplasia from worsening. They can take Qian Mao Hui Chun capsules and levofloxacin hydrochloride tablets for symptomatic treatment. While undergoing medication-based maintenance treatment, patients should restrain from sexual activity, consume more nutritious and easily digestible foods, avoid cold foods and spicy, irritating foods, maintain a balanced diet, and pay attention to rest. When patients face difficulties caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia, we should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment and avoid delaying medical consultation. If benign prostatic hyperplasia does not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
