Patient's question:
Recently, I had intimate relations with my husband, but he always performed poorly. He also often mentions that the pain in his prostate has reappeared. I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said he had benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prescribed some medication for him. My husband has been taking the medication for over a month, but the effect isn't very good. Can BPH be cured with medication?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic hyperplasia can push the urethra, leading to frequent urination and urgency. Over time, this can naturally affect normal sexual function. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a check-up of prostatic fluid to determine if there is a substantial bacterial infection. If inflammation is ruled out, factors such as stress, staying up late, overexertion, excessive masturbation, and lifestyle changes are directly related. In daily life, it is important to quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption, and exercise regularly. Prostatic hyperplasia can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, take medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy foods and smoking or drinking beer. It is hoped that male patients can recover quickly.
