Patient's question:
I have been urinating frequently at night recently, and there are also some differences compared to before. It reflects some sluggishness, and the urine stream has become very thin. The night urination is not very far, and it still drips and drips until it's not finished. After a careful examination, it was found to be benign prostatic hyperplasia. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia includes self-regulation therapy, drug therapy, surgical therapy, minimally invasive therapy, etc. Self-regulation therapy: If there are no urinary difficulties, treatment is not necessary. Just pay attention to climate changes, avoid cold exposure, prevent occupational infections, and refrain from drug use, smoking, and consuming spicy foods. Increase physical activity, manage stress, maintain a calm mindset, drink water appropriately, and prevent holding urine to slow down or prevent the recurrence of urinary difficulties. Patients should take oral medications in a timely manner and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
