Patient's question:
Because I am getting older now and my body often feels uncomfortable, I have recently experienced frequent urination and urgency again. Now, I also go to the bathroom many times at night. After a careful check-up, I found out it is benign prostatic hyperplasia. I am looking for advice on the diagnosis and measures for benign prostatic hyperplasia care.Doctor's answer:
For benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the first step is to undergo a prostate examination to assess the severity of the condition through a thorough check. Most cases of BPH are caused by excessive androgens in the body. It is advisable to avoid foods and medications that contain high levels of androgens in daily life. To prevent urinary tract infections, especially for those with BPH, it is important to drink plenty of water and urinate frequently to maintain urinary tract health. For severe BPH, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid switching medications arbitrarily, as this may lead to counterproductive results. The above suggestions are for reference only. It is hoped that the answer above can help you. Thank you.
