Patient's question:
At first, I only had frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination, especially at night. Later, the problem gradually worsened with shorter urination time and a feeling of incomplete emptying. So, I went to the hospital for a check-up. What are the preventive measures for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Drinking enough water is one of the important measures to prevent the occurrence of benign prostatic hyperplasia at work. Ensuring a certain amount of daily fluid intake can achieve the flushing effect on the bladder, dissolve urine, and slow down the recurrence of the condition. However, it is absolutely not advisable to hold urine. Holding urine can lead to excessive bladder filling. Viewing sexual life correctly is also one of the preventive measures. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual life in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
