Patient's question:
Because recently I had lower abdominal discomfort and frequent urination with urgency, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. After a careful check-up, the doctor diagnosed me with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prescribed medication for treatment. Additionally, I was advised to pay attention to certain precautions in daily life. What are the precautions for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Avoid alcohol, spicy foods, and eat more fruits. Ride a bicycle as little as possible, do not hold urine for a long time, take medication on time every day, usually before bedtime, and have a PSA check-up every year to rule out prostate cancer. Have a magnetic resonance check-up every year to monitor changes in the condition. Take medication monthly for prenatal check-ups, and adjustments may be needed. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If not treated in a timely manner, it may affect health. Therefore, patients should receive timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene.
