Patient's question:
I am 56 years old today, and recently I have been experiencing frequent urination and urgency. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, I found out that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This condition doesn't feel too serious at first, but it is very annoying, requiring me to visit the restroom constantly. What are the treatment options for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, it is recommended to drink more hot water, pay attention to preventing cold in the lower abdomen, and avoid drinking beer, cold drinks, and spicy or irritating foods in their diet. These measures can help alleviate symptoms. It is important not to overexert oneself or sit for long periods. For medication, drugs such as Pulegan tablets can be taken to regulate the condition. Chinese herbal medicine can also be used for treatment, which is often quite effective. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, the condition can negatively impact overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
