Patient's question:
My husband has been having frequent bowel movements lately and feeling uncomfortable. His mental state is also not good. After a check-up, he was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The doctor recommended surgery. I want to know if surgery for BPH can be a permanent cure?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease among elderly men. It can cause discomfort such as a heavy sensation in the perineum, frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and a feeling of incomplete urination. Patients with prostate hyperplasia should first pay attention to rest. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Smoking and drinking beer are not allowed. Medications such as Qianmao Shutong and Pule'an tablets can be taken. They should also use Qianmao An for rectal administration in combination. Treatment should be considered based on examination results, and proper diet should be maintained. Avoid sexual activity.
