Patient's question:
I recently had a thorough check-up for benign prostatic hyperplasia and fibrosis, and my urinalysis results were normal. But last night, I felt a decrease in urine output with a strong urge to urinate. What could be the reason? I haven't taken any medication before. What should I do now?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, in elderly men, with the increase of age, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is very common. It may lead to symptoms such as frequent urination and incomplete emptying of the bladder. It is important to pay attention to avoid sitting for long periods, drinking beer, and consuming irritating foods. Moderate exercise is also recommended.Oral medications such as Jinpu'an'an tablets and Huangqie capsules can be used for treatment. BPH can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that target the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to develop good lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
