Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia last year, but the treatment was ineffective. Currently, I experience abdominal bloating at night. I am 59 years old, weigh 162 pounds, and am 175 cm tall. Recently, apart from a little pain, I feel it is getting worse. What are the preventive and nursing measures?Doctor's answer:
Long-term reliance on increased abdominal pressure to help urinate can lead to hernia, hemorrhoids, and rectal prolapse. To prevent prostate enlargement, it is recommended to maintain a healthy diet and pay attention to regular routines. The condition of prostate hyperplasia tends to fluctuate, requiring long-term medication for management. Additionally, for male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Furthermore, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, and maintain good personal hygiene.
