Patient's question:
I went for a test on June 12th, and the results showed free/total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) at 0.24. My main symptoms are frequent urination and incomplete urination. Additionally, ultrasound revealed benign prostatic hyperplasia. How did my hemorrhoid removal surgery on May 3rd affect this?Doctor's answer:
Hemorrhoid surgery generally has no impact. Frequent urination and incomplete urination are typical symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is recommended that you rest, avoid staying up late, prevent stomach issues, drink more water, be more active, and relieve stress. Oral finasteride and tamsulosin hydrochloride should be taken for treatment. Prostate conditions are prone to recurring, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis from professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, proper diet should be maintained, and sexual activity should be avoided.
