Patient's question:
A week ago, I noticed that I had severe pain when urinating, and my penis was slightly red and swollen. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they said I had benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatitis. At first, the condition wasn't very serious, but in the past few days, it seems to have worsened. I'm a bit worried. Could you please advise on how to handle benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia have a significant impact on male survival, causing symptoms such as urinary urgency, dysuria, and lower back pain. If these symptoms reappear, it is essential to promptly implement anti-inflammatory measures. Antibiotics can be taken for inflammation. Daily hygiene should be maintained, with frequent changes of underwear, and a diet low in spicy and irritating foods. Fresh fruits, vegetables, and plenty of water should be consumed to prevent overexertion and staying up late. Prostatitis can be alleviated.
