Patient's question:
I am 54 years old this year. A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that I had benign prostatic hyperplasia. Now I don't know what to do, what medicine is most effective, and what should I pay attention to in terms of diet? Can I smoke or stay up late?Doctor's answer:
As age decreases, the likelihood of recurring benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) may increase, making it easier to experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary pain, incomplete urination, and even difficulty urinating. In such cases, it is advisable to visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination. If the symptoms of BPH are mild, oral medication is generally recommended for treatment. However, if the BPH is severe, surgical treatment should be considered. The condition of BPH tends to recur, requiring long-term medication for management.
