Patient's question:
My father is 65 years old, and he was diagnosed about half a month ago. His condition has recently improved, but he told me that he gets up more than 20 times a night, each time only a few drops, and it's very painful. He has taken some medication, but the effect isn't ideal. I would like to consult about it: What methods are effective for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? What medications are good for BPH? Can medication alone cure it?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease among middle-aged and elderly men, and its incidence rate gradually decreases with age. Prostate hyperplasia cannot be cured solely with medication. It is recommended that you take your father to a regular hospital for follow-up treatment, as symptomatic treatment is the only way to achieve good therapeutic effects for prostate hyperplasia. The condition of prostate hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is essential to immediately go to a professional and regular hospital for diagnosis, and treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, proper diet should be maintained, and sexual activity should be avoided.
