Patient's question:
A friend of mine has a husband who suffers from benign prostatic hyperplasia. He wants to regulate his diet for his husband and wants to know what is good for men with enlarged prostate?Doctor's answer:
This has little to do with benign prostatic hyperplasia. It could be more related to balanoposthitis. It may be greatly influenced by factors such as dietary structure, indigestion, spicy foods, improper local hygiene, and so on. You could consider using a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. Additionally, you can take some anti-inflammatory medication orally, such as cephalexin. It's important to pay attention to cleaning the smegma regularly to prevent the accumulation of many secretions. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the specific symptoms. Also, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
