Doctor's answer:
Suggestion:1. To prevent catching a cold: From late autumn to early spring, the weather is unpredictable, and cold can often worsen the condition. Therefore, patients must pay attention to staying warm and prevent colds and upper respiratory infections.
2. Avoid alcohol completely: Drinking alcohol can cause congestion and edema in the prostate and bladder neck, leading to urinary retention.
3. Eat less spicy food: Spicy and irritating foods can cause congestion in the sexual organs and worsen symptoms of hemorrhoids and constipation, while also inhibiting the prostate and exacerbating urination difficulties.
4. Do not hold urine: Holding urine can cause excessive bladder filling, weaken the detrusor muscle of the bladder, and make urination difficult again, easily leading to acute urinary retention. Therefore, it is essential to urinate whenever there is a need.
5. Do not overexert: Overexertion can deplete qi.
