Patient's question:
I recently experienced pain in my urethra while urinating, and I also have frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination. There have been several times when I couldn't even urinate. Additionally, I have a mysterious pain in my lower abdomen and often have trouble sleeping at night. What should I do about benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics are a common method for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Due to the unique structure of prostate tissue, drugs cannot penetrate deeply into the prostate in large doses, nor can they break through the lipid membrane of the prostate epithelium to enter. Additionally, this method is highly prone to causing secondary bacterial infections of the prostate. For patients with BPH, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
