Patient's question:
My husband had surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia a few days ago and is now preparing to be hospitalized. In the days he was in the hospital, he didn't eat much because of some concerns. Now that he's discharged, I want to help him regain his strength and was wondering what nutritional supplements would be good after surgery?Doctor's answer:
After the surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia, it is advisable to consume foods rich in nutrients, such as those high in protein and vegetables, to effectively promote the complete recovery of your physical condition. Examples include beef, lean meat, pork liver, eggs, etc. After the surgery, it is recommended to eat light and easily digestible foods, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink plenty of water while engaging in appropriate physical activities. The condition of benign prostatic hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term medication for management.
