Patient's question:
What should patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a relatively common disease, very prevalent among middle-aged and elderly men. If not treated promptly, it can bring numerous impacts on patients' lives and work. We hope that patients pay attention.1. Light diet. The diet should be light, with more vegetables and fruits, and less high-fat, spicy foods, to avoid congestion in the genital area and to prevent or worsen conditions like hemorrhoids, constipation, difficulty urinating, and inflammation.
2. Prevent overexertion. In daily life, exercise and work should be moderate, balancing rest and activity. Overexertion can deplete qi (vital energy), and insufficient qi can lead to weak urination, potentially causing urinary retention.
