Patient's question:
Last time my sister and I went to my cousin's house to play, we didn't see my uncle. My cousin said that my uncle has been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination recently, so he went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The result was benign prostatic hyperplasia. We didn't understand this, so we wanted to ask, what is the best treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia, especially prostatic hypertrophy, is primarily considered in terms of the prostate's position. The continuous increase and thickening of glandular tissue lead to lumen stenosis, resulting in symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. These symptoms can be addressed through surgery, mainly because they are caused by a decline in male hormones. Therefore, when using medication to suppress the condition, the focus is on reducing male hormones. Additionally, tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release tablets can be used to suppress and re-regulate the condition. Surgical suppression is the preferred method.Prostatic hypertrophy patients can, while understanding standard medical treatment, use folk remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. It is essential to avoid extreme hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat or binge drink.
