Patient's question:
I am a taxi driver and I am 58 years old. Two years ago, I started experiencing symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, and painful urination, as well as testicular swelling and pain. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was determined that these symptoms were caused by chronic prostatic hyperplasia. Due to training reasons, I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. However, soon after, I couldn't hold my urine while driving, and I had to go to the bathroom four or five times during the night, which severely affected my training and daily life. Therefore, I would like to ask you how to treat chronic prostatic hyperplasia in the elderly?Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms should be attributed to prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia, which are caused by factors such as maintaining the same posture for long periods, lack of exercise, dietary habits, and irregular lifestyle. It is recommended that you pay attention to physical exercise, avoid prolonged sitting, refrain from consuming greasy, high-fat foods, smoking, and drinking beer, and drink more warm water. You can take oral medications such as Pulegan tablets, metronidazole, and ofloxacin capsules for treatment. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for treatment based on the patient's condition.
