Patient's question:
Expert, my father is 49 years old this year and was carefully examined to have benign prostatic hyperplasia. What should we do? I want to ask you if this disease is treatable? Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Additionally, in terms of survival, diet, and daily living, it is important to avoid stimulating foods. Abstain from alcohol; pay attention to preventing cold exposure; avoid strenuous exercise. Prevent prolonged sitting and long-distance cycling; urinate promptly. Never hold urine. Therefore, self-care is very important. Good self-care can not only stabilize treatment effects but also prevent the worsening of the condition and the recurrence of acute urinary retention. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, if left untreated in a timely manner, it can affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
