Patient's question:
My father is over 60 years old this year, and his health is generally quite good. However, recently, he doesn't know if he caught a cold, so he has been having difficulty urinating, and it hasn't improved. Yesterday, after a thorough examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia. I'm very worried. What are the nursing measures for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common and easily occurring male disease, with the main harm being premature ejaculation, difficulty urinating, infertility, and abnormal semen. The causes of prostate hyperplasia often include frequent drug use, long-term alcohol consumption, and a diet high in spicy or irritating foods. The condition tends to fluctuate, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical diagnosis promptly. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results, and attention should be paid to quitting smoking and drinking, as well as maintaining personal hygiene.
