Patient's question:
My father is 77 years old and was admitted to the hospital because he couldn't urinate. After a thorough examination, the doctor suspected he had prostate cancer and recommended a needle biopsy. However, after taking medicine for two days, he was able to remove the catheter and urinate on his own. It didn't hurt, and he didn't feel any discomfort. Doctor, is a needle biopsy still necessary in this case? Is the needle biopsy harmful?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a urological inflammatory condition, and dietary attention is required. Avoid consuming highly stimulating or greasy foods. Oral intake of Qianmao Shutong capsules is necessary, while daily consistent physical exercise is also essential. Otherwise, avoid overeating. Prostate hyperplasia can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment plan, appropriate medication use, and a diet (light diet) without stimulating foods, smoking, or drinking beer are all crucial.
